Four Seasons Musical Theater is excited to announce that it’s Spring 2019 production will be Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory!
It’s been ten years since FSMT’s last trip into the world of Pure Imagination, and now the candy man is coming back! The delicious adventures experienced by Charlie Bucket on his visit to Willy Wonka’s mysterious chocolate factory light up the stage in this captivating adaptation of Roald Dahl’s fantastical tale. Featuring the enchanting songs from the 1971 film starring Gene Wilder and new songs by Leslie Bricusse (Jekyll & Hyde, Doctor Dolittle) and Anthony Newley, Roald Dahl’s Willy Wonka is a scrumdidilyumptious musical guaranteed to delight everyone’s sweet tooth.
Roald Dahl’s Willy Wonka follows enigmatic candy manufacturer, Willy Wonka, as he stages a contest by hiding golden tickets in five of his scrumptious candy bars. Whomever 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.

Hi,
I just saw the Vault Brother’s Show. They mentioned about auditions for Willy Wonka, and i haven’t been able to find any information about it in the website. I was wondering if you could clear up anything about that.
Thanks,
Jess Connelly

I’m new to the Victoria theater scene, but I have been both onstage and back stage at the Capital Theater in Nelson BC. And am currently working with LOST and Langham Court Theater. I would LOVE to audition for Willy Wonka. Its been 10 years since I have been in it, and I would love to try out for this team.
