Wait for music to end.

NARRATOR 2: Wow this Mr Wonka sounds terrific, can we have some

chocolate now?

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.

David N, Cassie, Katie P, Leon Ready

NARRATOR 2: Thats right! 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

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 14 REPORTER TOM BRADY: (very sarcastically) Isnt she just wonderful?

Swell. The third golden ticket was found by another lucky girl, Miss Veruca Salt.
(checks earpiece) Is Veruca here now?

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)

Music link and change of scene to the Bucket House

(stage right)
Grandparents (GRANDPA GEORGE, GRANDMA GEORGINA, GRANDPA JOE,
GRANDMA JOSEPHINE) are sitting on chairs and Mr and Mrs Bucket are sat
at the table.
CHARLIE is reading a book on the floor. Everyone is in coats, scarves, and
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.
SCENE 2

LX 22 MR BUCKET: Well, it seems four children have found golden tickets. I

wonder who the last child will be?

GRANDMA JOSEPHINE: I hope its no one as horrible as that Gloop boy.

GRANDPA GEORGE: Or as spoiled as that Veruca Salt girl.
GRANDMA GEORGINA: Or as beastly as that bubble-popping Violet
Beauregarde.
MRS BUCKET: Or as useless as Mike Teavee.
MR BUCKET: It makes you wonder if all children behave that way now days.
GRANDPA JOE: Of course not. Some do. Some dont. Of course, quite a lot of
them do, but not all!
MRS BUCKET: And there is only one ticket left!
GRANDMA JOSEPHINE: I bet some nasty little beast who doesnt deserve it
will find the last ticket.
GRANDPA JOE: I know someone who would like to have it, (turns to Charlie)
what about you Charlie?
CHARLIE: Sure I would. I think about it every day. I dream about it. Just
imagine, me winning the fifth ticket! Why its its pure imagination.
GRANDPA JOE: Perhaps, but Ive heard that sometimes things you imagine
come true.
CHARLIE: You really think so Grandpa Joe?
MR BUCKET: Dont encourage him Grandpa Joe. You know we dont have any
money to spare on chocolate.
CHARLIE: Its alright Grandpa Joe.
GRANDPA JOE: Actually, I do have a surprise for you. Reaches behind

his back
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.

Owen ready
GRANDMA GEORGINA: Enjoy your birthday present Charlie.
CHARLIE: Do you think I have a chance?
GRANDPA JOE: Good as anyone.
GRANDMA JOSEPHINE: And you deserve it more too!

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.

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

You can put an Everlasting Gobstopper in your mouth and it will never get any

Chew one of these and your teeth would break off!
VIOLET: Oh.
WONKA: And that machine LX 64 (Downstage Left) over there makes
moustache toffee, but its not perfected yet. When its ready, there will be no
more excuse for all these moustachioed boys and girls running around.

other flavours!

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.

VERUCA: Hey Daddy! I want a squirrel. Get me one of those squirrels.

MR SALT: Sweetie, those squirrels belong to Mr Wonka.

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.
WONKA: They arent for sale. She cant have one.

very minute!

trash from all over the factoryall of the floor sweepings, potato peelings,
rotten cabbage, chicken bones, and things like that.
MIKE: Who eats potatoes, cabbage and chicken around here?
WONKA: I do of course, you dont think I live on cocoa beans do you? And in
the end, that pipe leads directly to the incinerator.

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.

Oompa Loompas and Squirrels.

Oompa Loompa doompadee doo

I've got another puzzle for you
Oompa Loompa doompadee dee
If you are wise you will listen to me
Who do you blame when your kid is a brat
Pampered and spoiled like a
Siamese cat?
Blaming the kids is a lie and a shame
You know exactly who's to
blame:
The mother and the father!
Oompa Loompa doompadee dah
If you're not spoiled then you will go far
You will live in happiness too
Like the Oompa Loompa doompadee doo

Oompa Loompas and squirrels exit stage left

Devante and Connor stay on for camera

LX 78 NARRATOR 2: Looks like they are all bad nuts. I hope I dont find them
in a Snickers!
NARRATOR 1:

I wonder what will happen to Veruca? And her father?

NARRATOR 2: Doesnt matter. Theyre all nuts!

NARRATOR 1: Its a rubbish way to go. (pause)
NARRATOR 2: And so as the group became smaller they walked further into
the chocolate factory.

FOLLOW ENTRANCE FROM BACK TO FRONT
LX81 CHARLIE: Whats going to happen to them, Mr. Wonka?
LX 82 WONKA: Someone will catch them at the bottom.
LX 83 GRANDPA JOE: What about the incinerator?
WONKA: Oh that? I only light it every other day. Perhaps this is one of the days
its off? My goodness, children are disappearing like rabbits around here.
Oh, well, shall we go on?

CHARLIE and GRANDPA JOE: Oh, yes.

LX 84 MIKE: My feet are tired. I want to watch TV now.

WONKA: No time for complaining. On we go!
SCENE 9 Wonkavision room
Main cast enter upstage left

Some Oompaloompas enter operating a TV camera

LX 85 WONKA: Here we go. This is the Testing Room for my latest and
greatest invention.
Television Chocolate!
MIKE: Whats television chocolate?
WONKA: Stop interrupting me! It works by television. I dont watch TV myself,
but I suppose its alright in small doses. Children never seem to want it in small
doses. They want to watch TV all day long, staring and staring
MIKE: Thats me!
MR TEAVEE: Shhh. Dont interrupt Mr Wonka.
WONKA: Thank you. So on with my great invention.
MIKE: Its simple. Television is just photographs in millions of little pieces
floating in the air until they hit an antenna, and then are put back together
again on the screen.
WONKA: So I thought, why cant I take a chocolate bar and send it buzzing
through the air in tiny pieces until it comes out at the other end ready to be
eaten.
MIKE: Impossible. FOLLOW CHOCOLATE

LX 86

WAIT

LX 87 WAIT
LX 88
WAIT
LX 89
OOMPA LOOMPAS enter from centre aisle carrying a huge bar of
chocolate.

WONKA: Think so? Watch this. I take a giant bar of chocolate- it has to be big,
because whenever you send something by television it comes back much
smaller than how it went in. Here we go. Ready? [Mike goes near the camera]
No. No. Stay away. Youre too close. There are dangerous rays coming out of
that thing! They could break you into a million pieces!
MR TEAVEE: Mike get back from there.
MIKE: Fine. Fine. (He moves back)

WONKA: 32.1.Action LX 90

LX 91 GRANDPA JOE: Wow! The chocolates gone!

WONKA: Its on its way. Its in a million pieces floating through the air. Quick,
watch the screen! (stage left) Take it!
MIKE : How can you take it? Its just a picture on the television screen.
Grandpa Joe takes a smaller chocolate bar out of the TV.
GRANDPA JOE: Its fantastic!
CHARLIE: Its a miracle.
WONKA: When I start using this across the country, and adverts will flash
across the screen, saying Eat Wonka Chocolates! They are the best in the
world, if you dont believe us, try one yourself! Now!
GRANDPA JOE: Terrific!
MIKE: Can you send other things through the television? Like people?
WONKA: A person? Are you off your rocker?
MIKE: But could it be done?
WONKA: I dont know well I suppose so Yes, Im pretty sure, but there
might be some pretty nasty results.
MIKE: Look at me! Im on TV! Im going to be the first person sent by
television!
WONKA: No! NO! NO! NO!
MR TEAVEE: Come back Mike! Youll be turned into a million pieces!
MIKE: See you later alligator! LX 92

MR TEAVEE: Hes taking too long. Where is he?
WONKA: Watch. Something is happening!
MR TEAVEE: Yes! Yes, thats him. But hes so small.
WONKA: Grab him! Quick! Thank Goodness hes completely fine.

19

MR TEAVEE: Fine? Hes shrunk! I cant send him to school like this. Hell get
squashed! What did you say Mike? SDQ 17 MIKE TV SHRUNK [Pause]
Never. No. You will not be able to watch television. Ive had enough television!
Im throwing it out the window when we get home! What Mike? SDQ 18
MIKE TV SHRUNK [Pause] I dont care what you want. Or how much you
jump and scream!
CHARLIE: Will he grow back to normal size again, Mr Wonka?
WONKA: Well, young boys are very springy and elastic. Maybe Ill put him
through the taffy puller.
SDQ 19 Oompa Loompa 3 Connor enters and takes MR TEAVEE offstage
right.
MR TEAVEE: How far do you think he will stretch?
WONKA: Maybe miles.

Cue Chorus

Chorus (all OOMPA LOOMPAS) enter from stage right and stage left
Oompa Loompa doompadee doo
I've got another puzzle for you
Oompa Loompa doompa dah dee If you are wise you'll listen to me
What do you get from a glut of TV? A pain in the neck and an IQ of three
Why don't you try simply reading a book? Or could you just not bear to look?
You'll get no commercials
Oompa Loompa Doompadee Dah If you're not greedy you will go far
You will live in happiness too
Like the Oompa Loompa doompadee doo

WONKA: I love my chocolate factory. I really do. Tell me, Charlie, did you love
my chocolate factory?
CHARLIE: Well, Mr. Wonka, I never spent a more fantastic day anywhere, in my
entire life! So, do I love the factory? Well, yes, I do.
GRANDPA JOE: Why do you ask?
WONKA: Of course, youll get the chocolate I promised but I want Charlie to
receive much more. You see this whole day was a test. I wanted to see who would be
the best person for the job.

LX 99
CHARLIE: What job?
WONKA: Im tired, you see. Im not getting any younger, and I need some
help that means you!
CHARLIE: Me?
WONKA: Yes! I would like you, your Grandpa Joe, your whole family, to come
here, move here and live here permanently! I would like to have someone who
could take over once Im gone! And I want that person to be you! Would you do it?

Ive watched you all day, and know you are just the kind of person who can do this job.
Can you accept my offer? If you do, everything I have is all yours.

CHARLIE: Will I? Wow! This is more than I ever could have imagined! Of course
I will Mr Wonka! We will never starve again! This will be our factory! Oh thank
