Un-Common Theatre's Roald Dahl's Willy Wonka

The Box Office is now open for The Un-Common Fall Family Production of Roald Dahl’s Willie Wonka being presented at the Orpheum Theatre, Foxboro on November 16-18, 2012! Tickets may be purchased by calling (800) 838-3006 or online at www.brownpapertickets.com/event/276789


Join us as we continue the tradition of bringing kids and adults together on stage for a truly family-oriented theatrical experience for all ages.  This fun adventure begins as we explore Roald Dahl’s timeless story of the world-famous candy man and his quest to find an heir.  This classic comes to life in this stage adaptation of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and features the songs from the timeless family film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory including The Candy Man, Pure Imagination, I Want it Now! and I’ve got a Golden Ticket. 


Roald Dahl’s Willy Wonka follows the enigmatic candy manufacturer as he stages a contest by hiding five golden tickets in five of his scrumptious candy bars. Whoever comes up with these tickets will win a free tour of the Wonka factory, as well as a lifetime supply of candy. Four of the five winning children are insufferable brats: the fifth is a likeable young lad named Charlie Bucket who takes the tour in the company of his equally amiable grandfather. The children must learn to follow Mr. Wonka's rules in the factory – or suffer the consequences. This scrumdilyumptious musical is guaranteed to delight everyone's sweet tooth.
