The world-famous Willy Wonka is opening the gates to his mysterious factory…but only to a lucky few.
Charlie Bucket, an imaginative boy with a knack for making something out of nothing, dreams of acquiring a golden ticket to tour Willy Wonka’s magical chocolate factory and can’t believe his luck when it actually happens! Fellow contest winners: Veruca Salt, Violet Beauregarde, Mike Teavee, and Augustus Gloop, have no idea what they're getting themselves into, as they each learn valuable lessons from Mr. Wonka. Nobody leaves the same way that they arrived…
Discover a magical world full of amazement, innovation, sugary treats, and, of course, Oompa-Loompas!
Based on the famous novel by Roald Dahl, Charlie and the Chocolate Factoryfeatures an original score from the multi awarding-winning songwriters of Hairspray (Music by Marc Shaiman with Lyrics by Shaiman and Scott Wittman and a Book by David Greig), blended with songs from the 1971 motion picture including "Candy Man," "I've Got a Golden Ticket," “The Oompa Loompa Song," and "Pure Imagination” (Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley).
For the Golden Ticket Winners (excluding Charlie Bucket) we are looking for young adults (18 - 25) who can convincingly embody childlike characters. These roles require both strong character acting and vocals.
We will cast two boys (8 - 12 years of age) with unbroken voices to share the role of Charlie Bucket (performing for 6 performances each).
We are a diverse theatre and we welcome auditionees of all ages (above the age of 18) and all genders, ethnicities, sexualities, disabilities and races, to enrich the work of the production.

Seventeen Stories. Eight Chances. One Singular Sensation.
New York City. 1975. On an empty Broadway stage, seventeen performers are put through their paces in the final, gruelling audition for a new Broadway musical. For everyone present, it’s the chance of a lifetime. It’s the one opportunity to do what they’ve always dreamed of – to have the chance to dance… but only eight will make the cut.
Told through captivating song, riveting drama and stunning choreography, the auditionees describe the events that have shaped their lives and their decisions to become dancers.
Based on real-life testimonies from late-night recording sessions with dancers, these are the lives of theatre’s unsung heroes, as they tell searing stories of ambition, shattered hopes, and what it really costs to follow your dreams.
A Chorus Line is a musical masterpiece that revolutionised Broadway, winning nine Tony Awards, seven Drama Desk Awards, the New York Critics’ Circle Award and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Now celebrating 50 years since A CHORUS LINE first graced the Broadway stage, it is time experience a stunning new production full of heart, music and dance at Altrincham Garrick Playhouse.
We are a diverse theatre and we welcome auditionees of all ages (above the age of 18) and all genders, ethnicities, sexualities, disabilities and races, to enrich the work of the production.
