The hit musical Charlie And The Chocolate Factory will make its first Southeast Asia stop in Singapore. The immersive production will show at Sands Theatre, Marina Bay Sand in May 2026. 

Based on one of Roald Dahl’s most beloved novels, Charlie And The Chocolate Factory follows young Charlie’s golden-ticket adventure into Willy Wonka’s magical chocolate factory where he meets the mischievous Oompa-Loompas and navigates chocolate-related adventures.

The musical will feature iconic songs including Pure Imagination, The Candy Man, and I’ve Got a Golden Ticket from the classic 1971 film adaptation. Original tracks by Grammy and Tony Award winners Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman (of Hairspray and Mary Poppins Returns fame) will also be revealed. 

The new musical production will also include special effects inspired by advanced magical concepts. 

Renowned Las Vegas magic and illusion designer Tim Clothier joins the Broadway team to transform Willy Wonka’s fantastical factory into a world where the impossible feels possible. "Willy Wonka is the king of imagination, and being able to design new stage wizardry for that character is a dream come true,” he said.

Chief Executive Officer of Base Entertainment Asia, Chantal Prudhomme summed it up, “this production speaks to audiences of all ages, from children discovering the magic for the first time to lifelong fans of Roald Dahl’s timeless story and films. With unforgettable music, larger-than-life characters, and magical stagecraft, it delivers a theatrical experience full of wonder. We invite families, fans, and theatre lovers to join us on this golden ticket journey into the world of Willy Wonka.”
