  • Cutting-Edge Visuals: The show features advanced 3D hologauze technology and world-class illusions designed by Las Vegas master Tim Clothier.
  • The Story: Follow Charlie Bucket as he explores Willy Wonka’s mysterious factory, complete with chocolate rivers, squirrels, and the ever-mischievous Oompa-Loompas.

A Global Phenomenon

Before reaching Manila, this production enjoyed a successful run on Broadway and a two-time Olivier Award-winning stint in London’s West End. The current global tour is set to travel across Asia, the Middle East, and India over the next three years, visiting major hubs like Singapore, Hong Kong, and Seoul.

“Roald Dahl’s CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY is a dazzling fantasy for
everyone from everywhere. This new production features miraculous special effects and
cutting edge hologauze 3D technology based on advanced magic principles. We are so
excited to share the breathtaking world of this beloved Broadway musical about the
power of imagination, and the art of invention with Manila audiences in this
spectacular new immersive production from an all-Broadway creative team!”

— Simone Genatt & Marc Routh, Producers
