A World of Pure Imagination Awaits as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Opens at the Alhambra Theatre June 26
Jacksonville, FL — The Alhambra Theatre & Dining is thrilled to announce the opening of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the fantastical musical based on Roald Dahl’s beloved novel. Presented by Atlantic Self Storage, this deliciously entertaining production opens Wednesday, June 26, and runs through Sunday, August 17, promising a magical experience for families and theatergoers of all ages.
Step inside Willy Wonka’s whimsical world as Charlie Bucket and a colorful cast of characters embark on a once-in-a-lifetime journey through a chocolate factory like no other. Featuring memorable songs from the classic film—including “Pure Imagination,” “The Candy Man,” and “I’ve Got a Golden Ticket”—alongside dazzling new music from the team behind Hairspray, this modern adaptation brings Dahl’s timeless story to life with humor, heart, and spectacular visual effects.
“This show is a dream come true for summer,” said Alhambra Managing Partner Craig Smith. “It’s filled with magic, wonder, and joy—and with its themes of kindness, imagination, and adventure, it’s the perfect show for families looking to make memories together.”
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is part of the Alhambra’s 2025 season and features a talented cast of local and national performers, stunning sets and costumes, and the theatre’s signature three-course dinner service, making it an unforgettable night out.
