"Roald Dahl's Willy Wonka at Valley Youth Theatre is a crowd-pleasing production of Dahl's beloved children's book. Featuring songs from the 1971 classic film, the stage adaptation captures the whimsical charm and magical essence of Dahl's story. With a large and talented cast, colorful sets, and imaginative costumes, VYT's production makes for an enchanting journey into the fantastical world of Willy Wonka and his magical chocolate factory....The large cast under Mark Stoddard's warm and playful direction create endearing portrayals. Davin Williams is a bright and mischievous Willy Wonka, and Hudson Hubbell is charming and engaging as Charlie. Both create charismatic characters with Williams appropriately whimsical and unpredictable as the eccentric chocolatier and Hubbell heartfelt, sincere, and genuine as the innocent optimist...Featuring the beloved movie songs, including "Pure Imagination" and "The Candy Man," Roald Dahl's Willy Wonka is a funny and heartwarming musical comedy. With captivating performances and colorful creative elements, Valley Youth Theatre's production is a delicious, magical treat." - Gil Benbrook, TalkinBroadway.com (click here to read the complete review)
