SCENE 1
MIC
LX6 NARRATOR 1: I think I should fill you in on whats been happening lately.
Because Wonka Chocolate is so popular, other chocolate makers sent in spies
to the factory in order to discover Wonkas secrets.
NARRATOR 2: The worst of them was Mr SlugworthHe was such a good spy
he stole Wonkas candy making secrets.
NARRATOR 1: Like ice cream that never melts and chewing gum that never
loses it flavour.
Candy balloons that blow up huge and you can eat them after they pop.
NARRATOR 2: Yum. Delicious.
NARRATOR 1: Wonka didnt know what to do. He was afraid that the spies
would keep stealing his inventions and all his secrets would be out. He did the
only thing he could do. He closed the factory!
Matthew J Ready
NARRATOR 2: Nobody ever went in, and nobody ever went out.
NARRATOR 1: But Mr Wonka wanted children to have his chocolate once
again, so he ran a contest.
NARRATOR 1: Five mysterious golden tickets were placed inside regular candy
bar wrappers. They could be found anywhere, in any store.
NARRATOR 2: The tickets could be in any city, in any town, on any street, in
any country in the world! And the five winners would be able to tour the candy
factory and take home a lifetime supply of chocolate! And that is where our
story begins! LX7
LX10
LX 13
(stage right) VIOLET: Im a gum chewer normally, but when I heard of this
ticket thing of Mr
Wonkas I switched to chocolate. Now that Ive won, Im back on gum. I chew
gum all day long, except during meals when I stick it behind my ear for
safekeeping. This piece of gum that I am chewing at this very moment Ive
been working on it for three-months solid! Thats a world-record.
LX 15
(stage left) VERUCA: As soon as I found out about the contest, I told my
father I had to have one of these golden tickets. He went out and bought
thousands of Wonka Bars. He sent them to his peanut factory, so he has lots of
girls working for him. They worked day and night. It was terrible. I got more and
more upset each day, until finally I was on the floor kicking and screaming and
yelling in the most disturbing way.. (pause) until finally it was found and now,
Im all smiles. We have a very happy home once again. (big smile)
LX 18 (stage left) MIKE: Yeah, yeah. I got the golden ticket. Now just leave
me alone. I want to go back to my show. I watch television all day. I watch
every show I can, even crummy ones. I like cop shows the best, with bang,
bang, pow, pow. Oh, boy I want to do that myself! Its terrific!
LX 21

Grandparents (GRANDPA GEORGE, GRANDMA GEORGINA, GRANDPA JOE,
GRANDMA JOSEPHINE) are sitting on chairs and Mr and Mrs Bucket are sat

shivering.
There is a large old-fashioned radio on the table and a small loaf of bread.
MIC NARRATOR 2: Well now we can take an exclusive look at the hero of this
story. His name is Charlie Bucket and this is his family. This is their home.
Seven people live here thats right seven! In two little rooms and only one
bed, so you can see that their life is extremely uncomfortable.

CHARLIE: Really?
GRANDPA JOE: Come close, come here my boy. I saved my money for a year
to get you this.
CHARLIE: Oh, Grandpa Joe! Its not my birthday yet!
MRS BUCKET: Youll spoil him. That candy cost fifty pence! We cant afford
such luxury!
GRANDPA GEORGE: Let him be, the child gets one piece of candy a year, so
what if its a week early.

MIC
LX 23 NARRATOR 2: You know what? Im starting to feel really sorry for
Charlie and his family.
NARRATOR 1: Yeh, I know what you mean. Charlie and his family figured that
the last golden ticket would go to another child, in some other town, in some
other country.
NARRATOR 2: Days and weeks went by, but no one found the last ticket.
LX 24 SCENE 3- Candyman

walking up the RIGHT to the back. LX29
LX 30
MR BUCKET: You know it would have been nice if Charlie had won that fifth
Golden Ticket.
MRS BUCKET: You mean that 1 we gave him for his birthday present
yesterday?
MR BUCKET: Yes, the money we gave him to buy his one piece of candy he
gets every year.
GRANDMA GEORGINA: And just think how long it took us to save up!
GRANDPA GEORGE: Yes, now that really is a shame.
GRANDMA JOSEPHINE: But think of how much Charlie enjoyed the candy. He
just LOVES Wonka chocolate.
MRS BUCKET: He didnt really act that disappointed.
MR BUCKET: No, he didnt
GRANDPA GEORGE: Well, he might not have acted disappointed, but thats
because hes a fine boy and he wouldnt want any of us to feel sorry for him.
Charlie and the Bucket family mime being excited as CHORUS enter. LX 32
LX 33 Ive Got a Golden ticket
I never thought my life could be anything but catastrophe
But suddenly I begin to see a bit of good luck for me
'Cause I've got a golden ticket
I've got a golden twinkle in my eye
I never had a chance to shine never a happy song to sing
But suddenly half the world is mine what an amazing thing
'Cause I've got a golden ticket
I've got a golden sun up in the sky
I never thought I'd see the day when I would face the world and say
Good morning, look at the sun!
I never thought that I would be slap in the lap of luxury
'Cause I'd have said, C: It couldn't be done GJ: But it can be done
I never dreamed that I would climb over the moon in ecstasy
But nevertheless, it's there that I'm shortly about to be
'Cause I've got a golden ticket
I've got a golden chance to make my way
And with a golden ticket, it's a golden day
SCENE 5 Outside the Chocolate Factory

winners of the golden tickets.

VERUCA: Giant Squirrels!
MIKE: Gosh, there must be a hundred of them around that pile of walnuts over
there.
WONKA: These are specially trained squirrels for getting the nuts out of
walnuts.
MIKE: Why squirrels? Why not Oompa-Loompas?
WONKA: No one can get the walnuts out of walnut shells as well as a squirrel
can. See, they tap the nut with their knuckles to be sure it isnt bad. If its bad
15
it makes a hollow sound and they dont open it. They just throw it down the
garbage chute.
LX 75 VERUCA: I dont care about that! I want one! I NEED a squirrel! I want
a squirrel!
MR SALT: Alright, my pet. When we get home Ill get you a squirrel.
VERUCA: Not any old squirrel. I want a trained squirrel.
MR SALT: Very well. Wonka? How much do you want for one of these crazy
squirrels?
Name your price.

MR SALT: Now youve gone too far, Wonka. Indeed! My daughter may be a bit
of a brat, I dont mind admitting it- but that doesnt mean you can roast her to
a crisp. I am extremely cross about this, I really am.
WONKA: Dont be cross, dear Sir. Shell turn up sooner or later! She may not
even have gone down the pipe at all! She might be stuck in the chute, if thats
the case, all youll have to do is pull her up again.
