A Broadway musical bursting with candy, magic, and childhood wonder lands in Shanghai for the first time. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, based on Roald Dahl’s beloved book, brings Mr. Wonka’s wild world of chocolate waterfalls, glass elevators, and mischievous squirrels to life on stage.

A feast for the imagination and a treat for the child within, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is the latest Broadway musical adaptation of Roald Dahl’s legendary tale. Since its debut in 2017, the production has enchanted audiences on Broadway, in London’s West End, and across North America. With over 300 performances and a four-year U.S. tour under its belt, the show now makes its long-awaited China debut in 2025.

This dazzling production tells the story of Charlie Bucket, a humble boy who wins a golden ticket to visit Willy Wonka’s mysterious factory. Alongside four other children, he embarks on a whimsical adventure through chocolate rivers, nut-sorting squirrels, and magical inventions, discovering along the way that kindness and honesty are the keys to the real prize.

Expect spectacular visuals, unforgettable characters, and the timeless joy of Dahl’s imagination — all wrapped up in a musical that’s as sweet as it is spectacular.
