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.

For tickets, use our on-line order form or call 908-273-2192.
