<strong>If</strong> <strong>you</strong> <strong>are</strong> <strong><strong>in</strong>terested</strong> <strong>in</strong> <strong>WILLY</strong> <strong>WONKA</strong> <strong>OR</strong> <strong>CHARLIE</strong> <strong>please</strong> prep<strong>are</strong> the<br />
follow<strong>in</strong>g for <strong>you</strong>r audition<br />
TIPS: Willy Wonka is an enthusiast character. He should be able to change from serious to<br />
comic very quickly! Charlie is a good, honest boy. He is the heart and soul of his family.<br />
These <strong>are</strong> the two biggest roles with a large number of l<strong>in</strong>es and approx. six songs each.<br />
(Wonka is dressed as a candy seller and Charlie doesn’t recognize him)<br />
<strong>WONKA</strong><br />
Charlie! Charlie! Where’s <strong>you</strong>r coat<br />
<strong>CHARLIE</strong><br />
I haven’t got a coat.<br />
<strong>WONKA</strong><br />
Well, take my scarf, <strong>you</strong>’ll freeze to death!<br />
<strong>CHARLIE</strong><br />
Thank <strong>you</strong>, sir.<br />
<strong>WONKA</strong><br />
Oh, Charlie, would <strong>you</strong> grab that last case of Nut Crunchies for me Don’t want them to freeze.<br />
<strong>CHARLIE</strong><br />
Sure (turn around and see a co<strong>in</strong> on the ground)<br />
<strong>CHARLIE</strong><br />
I th<strong>in</strong>k <strong>you</strong> dropped this co<strong>in</strong> sir.<br />
<strong>WONKA</strong><br />
What’s this It’s not m<strong>in</strong>e. Take it home to <strong>you</strong>r folks.<br />
<strong>CHARLIE</strong><br />
I couldn’t do that sir. Maybe I should put up a notice………<br />
<strong>WONKA</strong><br />
Ah, that co<strong>in</strong>’s probably been buried <strong>in</strong> the snow for weeks, lad. Take it, Charlie.<br />
And take this for be<strong>in</strong>g such a honest kid. (hand Charlie a choc. bar)<br />
<strong>CHARLIE</strong><br />
Really
<strong>WONKA</strong><br />
Really. You look like <strong>you</strong>’re starv<strong>in</strong>g<br />
<strong>CHARLIE</strong><br />
(rip open the chocolate bar and beg<strong>in</strong> to eat) Mmmmmmmmmmmm…….it’s so good! A<br />
perfect blend of Belgian dark chocolate and New World light, with subtle overtones of<br />
Moroccan espresso. Wonka’s a genius. Thanks. I’d better get to school. (walk away, stop<br />
and return) Do <strong>you</strong> th<strong>in</strong>k I could have just one more I’ll pay for it.<br />
<strong>WONKA</strong><br />
Why not I’d give <strong>you</strong> another one, but the boss is pretty strict about <strong>in</strong>ventory. What’ll it be,<br />
Charlie, my boy<br />
<strong>CHARLIE</strong><br />
Well, I th<strong>in</strong>k I’ll sh<strong>are</strong> this one with my family…….Grandpa Joe likes the Whipple-Scrumptious<br />
Fudgemallow Delight, but Grandma Joseph<strong>in</strong>a likes the Nutt-a-riffic.
<strong>If</strong> <strong>you</strong> <strong>are</strong> <strong><strong>in</strong>terested</strong> <strong>in</strong> a GROWN-UP ROLE other than <strong>WILLY</strong> <strong>WONKA</strong> <strong>you</strong> have several<br />
choices. This first group <strong>are</strong> the adults <strong>in</strong> Charlie’s family.<br />
TIPS: Charlie’s p<strong>are</strong>nts and grandp<strong>are</strong>nts <strong>are</strong> very car<strong>in</strong>g and love Charlie very much!<br />
Grandpa Joe, Mr. Bucket and Mrs. Bucket <strong>are</strong> s<strong>in</strong>g<strong>in</strong>g roles. The other grandp<strong>are</strong>nts <strong>are</strong><br />
speak<strong>in</strong>g roles only (no solo s<strong>in</strong>g<strong>in</strong>g).<br />
MR BUCKET<br />
One million, two hundred and forty-n<strong>in</strong>e thousand, n<strong>in</strong>e hundred and seventy-six perfectly<br />
<strong>in</strong>stalled toothpaste caps, Charlie.<br />
<strong>CHARLIE</strong><br />
Do <strong>you</strong> th<strong>in</strong>k I might work <strong>in</strong> the toothpast factory one day father<br />
MR BUCKET<br />
Let’s hope not, Charlie.<br />
GRANDPA JOE<br />
What k<strong>in</strong>d of positive th<strong>in</strong>k<strong>in</strong>g is that Charlie’s go<strong>in</strong>g to work for Mr. Wonka mak<strong>in</strong>g chocolate<br />
bars.<br />
MRS BUCKET<br />
Now, Grandpa Joe, don’t go fill<strong>in</strong>g the boy’s head with dreams of candy.<br />
GRANDPA JOE<br />
Charlie’s from a long l<strong>in</strong>e of dist<strong>in</strong>guished candy men….<br />
GRANDMA JOSEPHINA<br />
And WOMEN!<br />
MR BUCKET<br />
But Wonka hasn’t hired anyone s<strong>in</strong>ce Slugworth’s spies stole his candy balloon recipe.<br />
GRANDPA JOE<br />
Wonka was so angry! He gathered all the workers and said, “I’m sorry but <strong>you</strong> all must go<br />
home.” Then he locked the gates of the factory forever!<br />
<strong>CHARLIE</strong><br />
But Mr. Wonka still makes candies. I can smell them on my way to school.<br />
GRANDMA JOSEPHINA<br />
(spooky tone of voice)……..Yes, but no one goes <strong>in</strong> and no one comes out……………..shadow<br />
workers…………
GRANDPA JOE<br />
Maybe the undead. Who knows<br />
MRS BUCKET<br />
Grandpa Joe, <strong>you</strong>’re go<strong>in</strong>g to give Charlie nightm<strong>are</strong>s aga<strong>in</strong>.<br />
MR BUCKET<br />
Charlie, run out and see if anyone is done with the newspaper.<br />
<strong>CHARLIE</strong><br />
OK dad.
<strong>If</strong> <strong>you</strong> <strong>are</strong> <strong><strong>in</strong>terested</strong> <strong>in</strong> an adult role for P. TROUT (the radio announcer), one of the PARENTS<br />
of the Golden Ticket W<strong>in</strong>ners or any of the children’s roles (Golden Ticket w<strong>in</strong>ners) <strong>please</strong><br />
prep<strong>are</strong> from this section.<br />
TIPS: P. Trout has to speak loudly, clearly and enthusiastically. She is full of confidence. Veruca is a<br />
spoiled brat, Violet isn’t much better. Mike is loud and obnoxious. Mr. Salt is wealthy and uses<br />
people. Mrs. Teavee lets Mike walk all over her.<br />
These <strong>are</strong> all s<strong>in</strong>g<strong>in</strong>g roles except for Mr. Salt (speak<strong>in</strong>g only).<br />
P. TROUT<br />
Ladies and gentlemen, the worldwide rush for Wonka bars is gett<strong>in</strong>g bigger by the m<strong>in</strong>ute. It<br />
seems a second Golden Ticket has been found. And so we’re off to our live remote <strong>in</strong> Sao<br />
Paulo, Brazil, where th<strong>in</strong>gs <strong>are</strong> “sweet” for Veronica Salt.<br />
VERUCA<br />
That’s Veruca, <strong>you</strong> imbecile! VERUCA, VERUCA, VERCULA!<br />
P. TROUT<br />
(ignor<strong>in</strong>g Veruca)….So, Mr. Salt, I understand <strong>you</strong> “sweetened” Veruco’s chances with a little<br />
assistance<br />
MR. SALT<br />
As soon as my little girl told me that she simply had to have one of those Golden Tickets, I<br />
bought hundreds of thousands of Wonka bars. I’m <strong>in</strong> the nut bus<strong>in</strong>ess, peanuts, cashews, but<br />
ma<strong>in</strong>ly Brazil nuts. So I had my factory girls stop shell<strong>in</strong>g Brazil nuts and start shell<strong>in</strong>g wrappers.<br />
VERUCA<br />
Daddy, that hideous reporter said my name wrong, on LIVE TELEVISION! Can’t <strong>you</strong> get her<br />
fired<br />
MR. SALT<br />
For <strong>you</strong> my dear, anyth<strong>in</strong>g……...anyway, after days of shell<strong>in</strong>g chocolate, one of my factory gals<br />
f<strong>in</strong>ally found the blasted Golden Ticket. I let her take the lucky piece of chocolate home to her<br />
17 kids………….<br />
P. TROUT<br />
(sarcastically) How generous!<br />
VERUCE<br />
Daddy, now she’s be<strong>in</strong>g sarcastic! I want her fired. FIRED! You hear me Fired! Fired! Fired!<br />
P. TROUT<br />
We <strong>in</strong>terrupt the Orphan Annie Radio Hour to br<strong>in</strong>g <strong>you</strong> this important news flash. A third<br />
Golden Ticket has been found <strong>in</strong> Snellville, Georgia. And what’s <strong>you</strong>r name, <strong>you</strong>ng lady
VIOLET<br />
Violet. Violet Beauregarde.<br />
MRS. BEAUREGARDE<br />
Violet, quit chew<strong>in</strong>g <strong>you</strong>r gum so loudly. Remember what <strong>you</strong>r therapist said about act<strong>in</strong>g out..<br />
VIOLET<br />
Ah, can it ma! You flap <strong>you</strong>r jaws as much as I do……..<br />
P. TROUT<br />
Now tell us, Violet, how did <strong>you</strong> f<strong>in</strong>d <strong>you</strong>r Golden Ticket<br />
VIOLET<br />
I’m a gum chewer. Normally, but when I heard about Wonka’s contest, I laid off the gum and<br />
switched to candy bars. Now, of course, I’m right back on gum. In fact, I’ve been work<strong>in</strong>g on<br />
this piece for over three months solid. I’ve beaten the record set by my best friend, Cornelia<br />
Pr<strong>in</strong>zmetel. Hi, Cornelia…….listen to this…..(chews loudly)…That’s the sound of <strong>you</strong> los<strong>in</strong>g!<br />
P. TROUT<br />
And now we’re live at the home of Mike Teavee, the f<strong>in</strong>der of the fourth Golden Ticket. Here’s<br />
Mrs. Teavee now.<br />
Mrs. Teavee<br />
You see, Mike and I were watch<strong>in</strong>g….<br />
MIKE<br />
(engrossed <strong>in</strong> a TV show) Shut <strong>you</strong>r pie-hole, toots! This is the best part! Crack, smack, whack!<br />
Dead. Did <strong>you</strong> see him die That was so awesome!<br />
P. TROUT<br />
Yes, very cool, Mike. Now Mrs. Teavee, about the Golden Ticket…..<br />
MIKE<br />
Yeah! I got a ticket, dawg. Big deal! It means I’m gonna miss at least an hour of my second<br />
favorite show AND I’m gonna have to leave the house to tour some stupid chocolate factory.<br />
Right, whatever. (back to the TV) Hit him! Hit him harder!<br />
P. TROUT<br />
Now, Mrs. Teavee, which school does our Golden Ticket w<strong>in</strong>ner attend<br />
MIKE<br />
What Are <strong>you</strong> crazy Who needs school I got the ‘net, TV and my Game Boy, fool!
