Charlie and the Chocolate Factory The Musical

A new musical production of Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, directed by Sam Mendes and starring Douglas Hodge as Willy Wonka, opens in London's West End at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane.

Adapted by David Grieg, the show features an entirely new score written by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman - although the song 'Pure Imagination,' taken from the 1971 film adaptation is retained.
