The musical version of Roald Dahl classic Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is heading to the Palace theatre. The production will arrive in the city for a near month-long stay in July next year.
Those keen to get hold of priority tickets can sign up here, with the first lot of tickets going on sale at 10am on July 7, with general admission tickets then going on sale at 10am on July 8. As with the classic children’s book, the music tells the story of young Charlie Bucket.
Charlie, with a group of variously ungrateful, mean, self-obsessed and greedy children, win a contest to enter the secretive world of chocolate maker Willy Wonka and his wondrous chocolate factory. But all is not as it seems, and soon Charlie learns that there are greater plans in store for him.
