Bridport Electric Palace
In this musical adventure inspired by the popular Roald Dahl book and subsequent films, Willy Wonka decides he must find a new person who is kind, creative and loves all things sweet to run his factory. In order to find a worthy successor, sets up a competition in which 5 lucky children (Augustus Gloop, Veruca Salt, Violet Beauregaurde, Mike Teavee and Charlie Bucket) find a golden ticket in a Wonka bar and get the chance to visit his factory to compete for a ‘grand prize’. Through the story, we follow Charlie, the last to get a ticket but most passionate about Wonka’s work, as he sees things that must be believed to be seen, and are beyond his pure imagination!
