"Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" is a musical based on the classic children's novel by Roald Dahl. The story follows the journey of Charlie Bucket, a young boy from a poor family, who wins a golden ticket to tour the mysterious chocolate factory owned by the eccentric Willy Wonka. Along with four other children, Charlie embarks on a tour of the factory, encountering strange and magical creatures along the way.

As the tour progresses, the other children fall victim to their own vices and are eliminated one by one, until only Charlie is left. He is rewarded with the ultimate prize - inheriting the chocolate factory and becoming Wonka's heir.

The musical features songs by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman, including "The Candy Man," "Pure Imagination," and "I Want It Now!" It first premiered on London's West End in 2013, followed by a Broadway production in 2017.
