Our next full-scale musical is here.
In 2025, Limitless Productions brought the acclaimed 'Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street' to life in St Albans.
Now, from the same team behind last years smash-hit musical, comes Roald Dahl's classic tale,
'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory'.
With full-scale set pieces, custom costume design, a professional creative and technical team this is a fantastic opportunity for performers of all ages.
Our past productions in St Albans include the acclaimed 'Sweeney Todd' which audiences loved for its "gripping character portrayals" and "West-End standard", as well as the sold-out 'Bugsy Malone', which earned glowing five-star reviews for its energy and ingenuity, as well as the multi-award-winning touring production of 'Bouncers', hailed by critics as an “off-West End experience.”
With over a decade of massive shows in the city, we have firmly established ourselves as a household name in semi-professional theatre — bringing West End quality to your doorstep (thankfully without the overpriced ice cream).
About the show.
Based on the famous novel by Roald Dahl, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory features an original score composed by Marc Shaiman with lyrics by Shaiman and Scott Wittman (Hairspray) and a book by David Greig. The score also pays homage to the Leslie Bricusse/Anthony Newley score from the 1971 film with songs from the motion picture including "Candy Man," "I've Got a Golden Ticket," "Oompa Loompa Song," and "Pure Imagination."
The world-famous Willy Wonka is opening the gates to his mysterious factory…but only to a lucky few. Young Charlie Bucket and four other golden ticket winners will embark on a life-changing journey through Wonka’s world of pure imagination including chocolate waterfalls, nutty squirrels and the great glass elevator, all to be revealed by Wonka's army of curious Oompa-Loompas.
This show is the perfect family treat!
