An exciting new production of Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, based on the much-loved book, premiered at Leeds Playhouse in November 2022.
Directed by Leeds Playhouse’s James Brining and adapted from Dahl’s novel by David Greig, with music by Marc Shaiman and lyrics by Shaiman and Scott Wittman this dazzling reinvention of the successful West End and Broadway musical transported the show to mouth-watering new heights for audiences in Leeds.
The scrumptious tale featured memorable songs from the iconic 1970s film and the award-winning designer Simon Higlett transformed the Quarry stage at Leeds Playhouse into the chocolate-fuelled magical and mysterious world of Willy Wonka's factory.
