Coming to Broadway July 5th, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a story about love, greed, values, and, of course, candy. This classic tale follows five lucky children behind the gates of the magical factory where even your sugariest dreams can come true. Here’s why you should get your own golden ticket to see this production.

1. Candy

If there’s a subject for a musical that is better than candy, we don’t want to know what it is. This play will satisfy your sweet tooth with 2 hours and 30 minutes of sugary show tunes and giant candy props.

Based on Roald Dahl’s classic novel, this musical might be new, but the story is one everyone knows and loves. Now, you’ll have to go see the musical and add Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to your summer reading list.
