Based on the book, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl, Stage Right presents Roald Dahl's Willy Wonka this July at the Crighton Theatre in Conroe.
 
The musical 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.

The musical combines the classic story from the book and favorite songs and dialogue from the 1971 film Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory with a few new songs and scenes sprinkled in.
