In a co-production with Warner Brothers Theatre Ventures and Langley Park Productions, Neal Street brought Roald Dahl's deliciously dark tale of young Charlie Bucket and the mysterious confectioner Willy Wonka to life in a brand new West End musical. Featuring ingenious and ground-breaking stage craft, the wonder of the original story that had captivated the world for almost 50 years was brought to life for a new generation, directed by Sam Mendes, with book by David Greig and a new score by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman.
The musical premiered in London's West End at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane on 25th June, 2013 and ran for three years and 7 months before closing on 7th January, 2017. It was nominated for seven Olivier Awards. A reworked version of the show, directed by Jack O’Brien, opened on Broadway in Spring 2017 and ran until early 2018 before undertaking a major tour of the USA, followed by its Australian Premiere in January, 2019. A second US tour launched on 1 January, 2020 in Miami, Florida.
