The Broadway musical Charlie and the Chocolate Factory will burst with candy, magic and childhood wonderlands at Beijing's Poly Theater from April 1 to 12, following shows in Haikou, Hainan province, in March.
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.
At the heart of this timeless story is Charlie Bucket, a boy whose courage, kindness and steadfast belief in possibility set him apart. Unlike the other children who visit the factory, Charlie is not driven by greed or pride but by his honesty, imagination and sense of adventure. His journey reminds people that true treasure lies not in gold or chocolate, but in the courage to dream, the spirit to invent, and the resilience to keep going when the world seems impossible.
Since its debut in 2017, the production has enchanted audiences on Broadway, in London's West End, and across North America, and debuted in China in 2025.
