Roald Dahls Charlie und die Schokoladenfabrik

Charlie lives in modest circumstances. One day, he finds a golden ticket. It’s a ticket to Willy Wonka’s famous chocolate factory. Charlie and a few other children get to enjoy a special tour of Willy Wonka’s empire. 

In addition to the many spectacular machines used to make candy, the children also meet Willy Wonka’s hardworking helpers: the Oompa-Loompas. Charlie is absolutely thrilled. But while he takes in this new world with enthusiasm, the other children are bored. Unlike Charlie, they have long since lost their sense of wonder at the marvels around them. They and their parents are driven by greed, envy, and vanity. But they’d better watch their step, because a lesson with a serious twist awaits each of the children at the factory. 

Based on Roald Dahl’s best-selling novel, the touching story of Charlie and his visit to the world of fantasy has been adapted for the screen several times. The musical adaptation, featuring the world-famous film score—including the “Oompa Loompa Song” and “Candy Man”—celebrated its German-language premiere in 2025 and will be performed for the first time at the Theater Lüneburg during the 2026–27 season! Buy yourself and your children a golden ticket and let yourselves be whisked away to the world of chocolate fountains and nutty squirrels.
