Theatre: Upcoming accessible performances: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory – The Musical

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory- The Musical  will have its Irish Premiere this December at Bord Gais Energy Theatre in Dublin.

Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory – The Musical tells the devilishly delicious tale of young golden ticket winner Charlie Bucket and the mysterious confectionary wizard Willy Wonka.

But beyond the gates astonishment awaits, as down the sugary corridors and amongst the incredible and edible delights, the five lucky winners discover not everything is as sweet as it seems.
