Roald Dahl's Willy Wonka JR. follows enigmatic candy manufacturer Willy Wonka as he stages a contest by hiding golden tickets in five of his scrumptious candy bars. Whomever comes up with these tickets will win a free tour of the Wonka factory, as well as a lifetime supply of candy. Four of the five winning children are insufferable brats, but the fifth is a likeable young lad named Charlie Bucket, who takes the tour in the company of his equally amiable grandfather. The children must learn to follow Mr. Wonka's rules in the factory — or suffer the consequences.

Hello,

One of the elementary school theatre classes our program teaches is interested in doing Willy Wonka in the fall for their after school theatre show. In choosing which version though, I was wondering if you could tell me a little more about the difference between the Jr. and Kids versions? Thanks so much!
