Charlie and the Chocolate Factory tickets

For one sensational summer only, the gates to Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory will open at the London Coliseum.

Multiple Olivier Award-winner Michael Ball OBE (LES MISÉRABLES, HAIRSPRAY, SWEENEY TODD) stars as the legendary Willy Wonka in a brand-new, scrumptious production of Roald Dahl's magical and much-loved CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY THE MUSICAL.

Join Charlie Bucket on the adventure of a lifetime when he finds a golden ticket and discovers a world of wonder behind closed doors. Step through the factory gates into a spectacular world where chocolate rivers flow, Oompa-Loompas sing, inventions defy imagination and every room holds a delicious surprise. Alongside Grandpa Joe, Augustus Gloop, Veruca Salt, Violet Beauregarde and Mike Teavee, Charlie discovers that nothing is quite as it seems inside Wonka's extraordinary factory.

Directed by Nikolai Foster (KINKY BOOTS, London Coliseum), with set design by Leslie Travers (ROAD, Royal Exchange Theatre) and costume by Olivier Award-winning Katrina Lindsey (HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD, West End and Broadway), this brand-new production features a book by David Greig, music by Marc Shaiman, lyrics by Scott Wittman and Marc Shaiman, together with the iconic songs such as ‘Pure Imagination’ from the 1971 film WILLY WONKA & THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY by Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley.

Whether you're discovering Charlie and the Chocolate Factory for the first time or reliving a childhood favourite, don't miss this spectacular theatrical event. Open the gates to a world of pure imagination at the London Coliseum for a strictly limited season from 4 June to 18 September 2027.
