Wed, Nov 08 – Sun, Jan 14, 2024

Who will win the lifetime supply of chocolate? Step behind the dates and discover what awaits!

This fantastical musical follows young Charlie Bucket and his Grandpa Joe as they join four other Golden Ticket winners to tour the magical and mysterious chocolate factory of eccentric “Candy Man” Willy Wonka. When the factory gates are opened, experience the lifechanging journey through a world of “Pure Imagination,” revealed with Wonka’s army of curious “Oompa-Loompas.”

When you arrive at Paramount you’ll be greeted in our Grand Gallery, transformed into a Christmas wonderland with a two-story fully decorated tree.
