The show may say "junior" but there is nothing small about the size and
the scope of the production. Kaleidoscope is committed to giving patrons
Roald Dahl's timeless story of the world-famous candy man and his quest to
find an heir. Peppered with colorful locations, a tour-de-force role for the
title character, songs from the film classic and some clever new additions,
Willy Wonka Junior allows performers and audiences alike to visit (or
revisit) that world of pure imagination.

Tickets are $15, and will go on sale July 1.
