A second U.S. Tour launched on 1 January 2020 inMiami, Florida. The Broadway version of the musical has been acquired for licensing rights inNorth America,Europe andAustralia by Music Theatre International.[2]
The musical is based on the1964 children's novel byRoald Dahl.[3] Producers held a first reading of the first act from the show inNew York City in May 2010, with the intention of opening inLondon the following year.[4][5][6]

The book was written by playwrightDavid Greig with original score composed byMarc Shaiman and lyrics byScott Wittman and Shaiman.[9] The production was directed bySam Mendes, with choreography byPeter Darling, accompanied with the assistance of Brandon Duncan, set design by Mark Thompson and lighting design by Paul Pyant.[10]
The show presents a more contemporary version of the original story.[11][12] During previews, many changes were made, most significantly the addition of the Great Glass Elevator.[13]
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was scheduled to begin previews on 17 May 2013, at theTheatre Royal, Drury Lane,London, before holding its official opening night on 25 June 2013.[14][15][16][17] The show was originally scheduled to open at theLondon Palladium.[18] Previews of the show were delayed by five days until 22 May, due to "unforeseen problems in the delivery of a piece of stage engineering by a contractor".[19][20] Shortly after opening night the show's producers extended booking period through May 2014,[21] with a further extension to November 2014, after ticket sales of approximately 300,000 through October 2013.[22] In February 2015, the production booking further extended through 3 December 2016.[23] The show currently holds the record for the highest weekly gross in theWest End, with an income of £1,080,260 during the week commencing 30 December 2013.[24] The first major cast change took place in May 2014, whenAlex Jennings replaced Hodge as Wonka.[25] In May 2015 a second cast change took place, withJonathan Slinger asWonka.[26]

TheWest End production ofCharlie and the Chocolate Factory received mixed to positive reviews from critics.[62] While the physical production and quality of the performances were generally praised, the score and storytelling received criticism.
The Broadway production received mixed to negative reviews from critics.[35] Despite the enormous overhaul to both the book and score from the London production, critics noted that the storytelling was still choppy and relied too heavily on humor. Criticism was also drawn to the decision to cast adults as the Golden Ticket winners instead of children, as well as the lackluster sets redesigned for Broadway. However, Christian Borle received widespread praise for his performance as Willy Wonka, even amongst negativity towards other aspects of the show.
Like the Broadway production, the Australian tour received mixed to negative reviews, as critics compared it unfavorably with the recent musical production of another Roald Dahl children's story,Matilda. Critic Tim Byrne found the original music "bland and unremarkable" likewise the sets and costumes, but praised the performances of Paul Slade Smith andTony Sheldon, and the "ingenious" puppetry of the Oompa Loompas.[63] Critic Cameron Woodhead didn't mind the sets and costumes but said deep structural issues remained leaving "a show that's too focused on showing off to remember the importance of the simple things".[64]
