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 world-famous Willy Wonka is opening the gates to his mysterious factory…but only to a lucky few.

Performance Accompaniment Backing Tracks

Hello,
Have backing tracks for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory been created (and if not, is there a timeframe known for when this will occur)? I'd love to license the show, but my organisation's lack of an orchestra means I won't be able to unless backing tracks are available.

Thanks!

We are a school in the ACT that does a musical every year and this one is perfect for what we need and just wanted to confirm that it is available to hire if we decide that this is what we want to do?
