CHARACTERS
WILLY WONKA — The sly, charming star of the show. Lithe, eccentric. His larger than life

being confined to a bed, his childish energy returns when Charlie finds the Golden Ticket.
CHARLIE BUCKET — Sweet, smart, hopeful and loving. A boy with wonderful innocence
and vulnerability.
MRS. BUCKET — Charlie's warm and kind-hearted mother. Worrier. Generous and loving.

manipulation. Sweet, strong and scary.
MR. SALT — Veruca's goofy, eccentric, distracted, hilarious father. Finds it impossible to say
no, giving in to every ridiculous demand his daughter makes.
VIOLET BEAUREGARDE — Confident, forward, and full of attitude. Pop voice and great hip
-hop dance skills. Confident and full of attitude.
MIKE TEAVEE — A loud wild-child with a ridiculous amount of energy. The epitome of enti-
tlement and self-proclaimed superiority. Powerful and terrifying. A voice that cuts through
steel.
MRS. TEAVEE — She needs amphetamines to get through the day and deal with her outra-
geous son. Tense, extreme, and hilarious.

THE CANDY MAN (WITH LYRICS)

GRANDPA JOE: Now look here! I know times are hard, but a birthday’s a birthday and a kid
ought to have a present on his birthday, oughtn’t he? ‘Specifically if that kid’s
Charlie.
MRS. BUCKET: Joe!
GRANDPA JOE: Now, as it happens, I’ve saved up quite a bit of money over the years.
(GRANDPA JOE brings a sock out from under his pillow.)
Seventy nine cents to be exact.
MRS. BUCKET: Joe, that money’s supposed to be for your funeral!
GRANDPA JOE: Oh stick me in the trash bag and put me out on a Tuesday, Josephine. I don’t
care about funerals. I just care about Charlie and I think he should have a
chance at a golden ticket.
CHARLIE: Wait, Grandpa Joe, my birthday’s not for twenty nine and a half days. All the
golden tickets could be gone by then!
GRANDPA JOE: Gone! What sort of spirit is that! Don’t you remember my story about hunting
rhinos in Africa?
CHARLIE: With Dr Livingston I presume!
GRANDPA JOE: That’s the one. Do you remember, what he told me? ‘Joe’, he said –
CHARLIE: ‘When the rhinos charge –
CHARLIE & GRANDPA JOE: Never waver
CHARLIE: Stand your ground! Let fate decide.’
GRANDPA JOE: He was a wise man, Dr Livingston.
JOSEPHINE: Whatever happened to him?
GRANDPA JOE: He was killed by a rhino. But that’s not the point. The point is Charlie…stand
your ground. If there’s a golden ticket out there with your name on it, it’ll find
you.
MRS. BUCKET AUDITION SIDE
MR. SALT: Zdrastvooyte! Oleg Salt, from Novosibirsk. I run Salt Peanuts, Salt Cod, and
Salt Mines.
WILLY WONKA: That’s a lot of Salt, you should watch your blood pressure.
MR. SALT: And this is my wonderful daughter.
(WILLY checks their documents.)
WILLY WONKA: Dyspepsia?
VERUCA: Veruca!
WILLY WONKA: Angina?
VERUCA: Veruca!
WILLY WONKA: Diahorrea?
VERUCA: VERUCAAAA!
(MR. SALT cringes audibly at her cry.)
WILLY WONKA: I’m terribly sorry, I was checking your father’s medical records. Oleg, entre
nous. You really must take care of yourself.
(WILLY puts a stethoscope to Mr. Salt’s ears and checks himself.)
VERUCA: I’ll take care of YOU WONKA if you don’t focus on ME!
(WILLY gets out a large magnifying glass and peers at Veruca.)
WILLY WONKA: It’s a pleasure dear to have you here, where did you get that mink?
VERUCA: Are you for real?
VIOLET AND MR. BEAUREGARDE AUDITION SIDE
MIKE: Hey Wonka, if you can put chocolate on TV, can you do it with a person too?
WILLY WONKA: I suppose I could but there might be some technical issues.
MIKE: (MIKE grabs the remote.) I’m doing it.
MRS. TEAVEE: Mikey, what are you doing?
WILLY WONKA: (Sarcastic.) Mike no! Stop!
MIKE: I’m not just gonna be on TV, I’m gonna be IN TV!
MRS. TEAVEE: Michael come down here now.
(MIKE jumps into the pod)
MIKE: Welcome to the Mike Teavee TV Show!
(MIKE points the remote at his own head. Presses go. A loud bang!)
MRS. TEAVEE: Oh my God, Wonka—He’s gone!
WILLY WONKA: No he hasn’t gone Mrs. Teavee. He’s all around us now in billions and billions
of tiny microscopic particles. He should be on channel 209. Channel 209.
209. Interesting... (into speaking tube) Oompas, we’ve lost him. We’re going to
need more screens.
MRS. TEAVEE: More screens? That’s the last thing Mikey needs.
JOSEPHINE, GEORGINA & GEORGE AUDITION SIDE
JOSEPHINE & GEORGINA: (JOSEPHINE & GEORGINA are shaken awake by the noise of the dinner
bell.) Aaaah!
CHARLIE: Dinner!
JOSEPHINE & GEORGINA: Oh. Lovely.
GEORGE: (GEORGE wakes up.) Oh God, are we still here?
CHARLIE: Put your bibs on everyone. It’s dinner time.
(As HE passes out the bibs)
Grandpa Joe. Grandma Josephine. Grandma Georgina. Grandpa George.
JOSEPHINE: What is for dinner tonight, my dear?
MRS. BUCKET: Cabbage surprise.
JOSEPHINE: Didn’t we have that last night?
GRANDPA JOE, MRS. BUCKET, CHARLIE & GEORGE: That’s the surprise!
GEORGINA: I don’t mind cabbage but you know it makes me gassy.
GEORGE: Somebody kill me.
MRS. BUCKET: Pass the soup Charlie.
(The wind blows through the rickety shack. MRS. BUCKET shivers.)
GEORGINA: It’s cold.
CHARLIE: (Passing soup to Georgina) Here you are.
JOSEPHINE: Winter’s coming.
MRS. BUCKET: I’ll light the stove.
GEORGE: There’s no wood.
MRS. BUCKET: I found an old chair leg on the garbage dump.

MRS. BUCKET: For tonight at least.
(All GRANDPARENTS sigh.)

JERRY: Oh Wonka! What chocolate whirlwinds have you unleashed upon the world?
Crazed children lust for sugar!
CHERRY: Greedy adults are beguiled by gold!
JERRY: It’s not so much an apocalypse as...
CHERRY: An A-choc-alypse.
JERRY: As the nation is gripped by a desperate hunt for chocolate, the world asks—
Upon whose infant brow will dame fate place her final golden kiss?
CHERRY: I’m Cherry Sunday.
JERRY: And I’m Jerry Jubilee, for “Chocolate Tonight” saying…
CHERRY & JERRY: “Stay safe out there”.
CHERRY: It’s nice to be able to touch you.

MRS. GREEN: Prices went up. You can have a rotten one for 5.
(CHARLIE gives her five cents in exchange for the cabbage.)
CHARLIE: Yuck!
(CHARLIE finds a small snail.)
MRS. GREEN: You get the snail for free.
CHARLIE: Thank you Mrs. Green.
