This years school musical will be "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory." For those of you who will be auditioning for parts, good luck! For those who aren't, I hope you enjoy the show!

Charlie is a humble, caring and hard-working boy, who spends his free time working as a paperboy to support his impoverished family. Each day, Charlie walks past Willy Wonka’s famous chocolate factory which produces the world’s best candy. To protect his recipes, Wonka hasn’t allowed anyone inside the factory for years.

Wonka makes a surprise announcement that he has hidden five golden tickets in his chocolate bars. The five children who find the tickets will be invited on a tour inside the factory and given a lifelong supply of chocolate. Amazingly, Charlie finds one of the golden tickets and chooses his grandfather Joe to come along.

Inside the factory, eccentric Willy Wonka not only shows his guests how his famous candy is made, but he also teaches them some lessons about the importance of being humble, honest and caring. (raisingchildren.net.au)
