Young Willy Wonka arrives in Europe full of drive and ambition. Despite his having an incredible product, the rival chocolatiers and an unscrupulous laundry owner take advantage of his naivety and kind nature in this musical comedy. If you’ve ever wondered how Willy Wonka came to be a chocolate impresario then it’s all here; from meeting an Oompa Loompa, his flair for the theatrical and a commitment to the cocoa bean.
