Charlie And The Chocolate Factory
The Media Theatre · Media, PA
A regional production of Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory — the Marc Shaiman/Scott Wittman musical — running at The Media Theatre from late November into early January.
Audiences get a full staged musical adaptation of Dahl's novel, with Willy Wonka's factory brought to life through sets, costumes, and songs from the Broadway version plus numbers carried over from the 1971 film. Expect a family-heavy house — kids on a first theater outing alongside parents and grandparents — and a run that stretches across the holiday weeks, so weekend and matinee performances tend to fill up. It's a polished, community-scale production in a 440-seat historic theater, closer to a cozy regional musical than a touring Broadway spectacle.
