Breakdown

CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY

SEEKING:

Willy Wonka: The enigmatic and eccentric owner of the world-famous Wonka Chocolate Factory. Willy Wonka is a reclusive and imaginative genius known for creating the most extraordinary candies and confections. He is both charismatic and unpredictable, leading the five Golden Ticket winners on a magical tour through his factory.

Grandpa Joe: Charlie's kind-hearted and supportive grandfather. Grandpa Joe is full of life and adventure, and he is Charlie's companion on the tour of the chocolate factory.

The Bucket Family: This includes Charlie's caring mother and his other three grandparents: Grandpa George, Grandma Georgina, and Grandma Josephine. They live in poverty but remain a close-knit and loving family.

Mr. Beauregarde: Violet's father, who is just as competitive and boastful as his daughter. He is obsessed with her success and is eager to capitalize on her newfound fame.

Mr. Salt: Veruca's affluent father, who indulges her every whim and showers her with expensive gifts. He believes that money can solve any problem.

Mrs. Gloop: Augustus Gloop's Mother, who is constantly trying to satisfy their son's insatiable appetite.

Mrs. Teavee: Mike Teavee's mother, who struggles to connect with her son due to his obsession with technology.

Mrs. Green: The poor, second-hand vegetable salesman that Charlie buys the only food his family can afford. While a kind woman cares about Charlie and his family, her priority is making a living.

Cherry Sundae: A zany and quick-witted reporter who adds a delightful dash of humor to the piece. The reporter is "on the scene" for all of our golden ticket winners.

Jerry Jubilee: Another reporter who is the bearer of bad news for Charlie's golden ticket ventures but is full of wacky energy while doing so.

Ensemble: Reporters, Oompa Loompas, Squirrels, Bavarians, Cheer Squad, Back-Up Dancers, and a slew of other featured characters.

Charlie Bucket: THIS ROLE IS CAST. The earnest and kind-hearted young protagonist of the story. Charlie comes from a poor family but dreams of a better life. He is selfless, compassionate, and possesses an unwavering moral compass. Charlie's integrity and pure heart lead him to be the final Golden Ticket winner.

Augustus Gloop: THIS ROLE IS CAST. A gluttonous, overweight child who finds one of the Golden Tickets. Augustus is known for his insatiable appetite, and his love for food often leads him into trouble. He represents the sin of gluttony in the story. Augustus sings, “More of Him to Love”, which is a humorous and lively number, with a touch of vaudeville style. It has playful and bouncy melodies that emphasize Augustus's gluttonous nature.

Veruca Salt: THIS ROLE IS CAST. A spoiled and bratty young girl who also discovers a Golden Ticket. Veruca is used to getting anything she wants and throws tantrums when she doesn't. She symbolizes the vice of greed.

Violet Beauregarde: THIS ROLE IS CAST. A competitive and gum-obsessed girl who is among the Golden Ticket winners. Violet is a world-champion gum chewer and boasts of her accomplishments. She embodies the sin of pride. "Queen of Pop" is a pop-inspired song, reflecting Violet's obsession with fame and her belief that she is the best. The song incorporates modern pop elements and catchy hooks.

Mike Teavee: THIS ROLE IS CAST. A technology-obsessed boy who secures one of the Golden Tickets. Mike is obsessed with television, video games, and gadgets. He represents the vice of sloth or laziness. "I See It All on TV" has a modern and techno-pop vibe, reflecting Mike's tech-savvy nature. The song features electronic beats and digital sound effects, creating a contemporary feel.

Youth Ensemble: THIS ROLE IS CAST. Ensemble Reporters, Oompa Loompas, Squirrels, Bavarians, Cheer Squad, Back-Up Dancers, and a slew of other featured characters.
