Willy Wonka is a mysterious and playful
figure. Willy Wonka leads the most famous
chocolate factory in the world and is ready to
pass the candy-making baton on to someone
else. He is a bit odd and definitely quirky but
wants the best for his factory and believes in
the power of chocolate.
Charlie Bucket is a good kid from a poor
family who loves, loves, loves Wonka candy!
In fact, his excitement gives Willy the idea to
stage the contest. Charlie is wide-eyed and
open-hearted, with a positive attitude despite
his humble circumstances.
Mrs. Green is a carnival-barker-style
vegetable salesperson who trades her cart
of “pre-owned vegetables” for Wonka candy
once the town goes candy-crazy.
Grandpa Joe dreams big – after all, Charlie
had to get it from somewhere! Grandpa Joe
admires Willy Wonka and teaches Charlie that
Wonka is the best chocolatier in the world.
Mrs. Bucket takes care of the whole family.
She’s supportive of Charlie’s studies, and
although she doesn’t see a future for him as a
candy inventor, she believes in him and wants
the best for him.
Josephine is one of Charlie's grandparents.
Georgina is one of Charlie's grandparents.
George is one of Charlie's grandparents.

covering the golden ticket story closely.
Cherry Sundae is a news anchor on the
same team as Jerry Jubilee. Just like Jerry,
Cherry is on the spot with the golden ticket
news as soon as she can be.
Mrs. Gloop like Augustus, takes food very
seriously. In her eyes, her son can do no
wrong, although, to the rest of the world, his
manners leave something to be desired.
Augustus Gloop is the regional bratwurst-
eating champion. Augustus and his mother,
Mrs. Gloop, are always on the lookout for their
next culinary experience.
Mr. Salt is Veruca’s father. He’s a wealthy
businessman who is used to buying his way
through life and will give Veruca anything she
wants so long as she’s not throwing a fit.
Veruca Salt is spoiled as can be. She is
used to getting her own way and is not afraid
to get loud when she doesn’t.
Mr. Beauregarde is Violet’s father. He
cares about her gum-chewing career just as
much as she does.
Violet Beauregarde has created a brand
around chewing gum, and she’s not going to
be stopped!
Mike Teavee is screen-obsessed. He’s
constantly connected, whether it’s internet,
television, or capturing his own content, and
his manners aren’t great as a result.
Mrs. Teavee loves her son Mike very much
– so much that she pretty much lets him do
whatever he wants.
The ensemble consisters of crowd, reporters, squirrels, and oompa loompas.
