Enter a world of pure imagination as the UK and Ireland tour of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory heads to Norwich in 2023.

The hit musical, based on the iconic Roald Dahl story, will be at the Theatre Royal from April 19 to 29 and it follows successful runs on both the West End and Broadway. 

It combines the memorable songs from the original 1971 film, including The Candy Man and Pure Imagination, with all new numbers from the award-winning songwriters of Hairspray.

In the show, Charlie Bucket finds one of the five golden tickets to the Wonka Chocolate Factory.

Once the winners step beyond the gates they embark on an extraordinary journey through Willy Wonka's marvellous mind.

West End star Gareth Snook will play Will Wonka and his credits include The Phantom of the Opera, Les Misérables and My Fair Lady.
