When eccentric candy creator Willy Wonka opens his factory to five lucky children, the result is an unbelievable journey of sight, sound and surprise. A dazzling new musical adaptation of the Roald Dahl novel, CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY finishes its HCT run this weekend, December 12th—14th.
Making his HCT debut in this production is Ensemble member John Brett.
A son of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Brett—a graduate of Lees-McRae College—now lives in Taylorsville and works as an Acquisition Manager for Habitat ReStore. He enjoys video games and all things art.
"I chose this musical because it is a great coming of age show," says Brett, who was previously performed in such notable musicals as INTO THE WOODS, CURTAINS, ANYTHING GOES, and LEGALLY BLONDE, all at Lees-McRae. Brett appreciates the inclusion and diversity he finds in HCT productions, allowing all performers "to be part of something magical."
Performances of CHARLIE & THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY are Thursday, Friday and Saturday, December 12th-14th at 7:30PM. Tickets are $18 for adults, $12 for youth and students.
Tickets are available online at hickorytheatre.org, or by phone at 828-328-2283. The theatre box office is open from 12-5 PM Wednesday through Friday, or one half-hour before a performance.
