About

For one sensational summer only, the gates to Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory will open at the London Coliseum.

Multiple Olivier Award-winner Michael Ball OBE (Les Misérables, Hairspray, Sweeney Todd) stars as the extraordinary Willy Wonka in a scrumptious brand-new production of Roald Dahl’s much-loved Charlie and the Chocolate Factory The Musical, directed by Nikolai Foster.

It features a book by David Greig, music by Marc Shaiman and lyrics by Scott Wittman and Marc Shaiman, including iconic songs such as ‘Pure Imagination’ by Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley, from the 1971 film Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory.

Schools pay no booking fees.
