Hold onto your Everlasting Gobstoppers – the magical world of Wonka is coming to life right here in Victor Harbor! Zest Theatre Group, the beloved community-based troupe known for its heart, humour and homegrown talent, is inviting audiences into a world of pure imagination with Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, live on stage at the Victor Harbor Town Hall.
Running for a limited season, this enchanting musical promises to be a treat for the senses – brimming with quirky characters, toe-tapping tunes, and just the right amount of Oompa Loompa mischief. Whether you’re a lifelong fan of the book, fond of the films, or just have a soft spot for chocolate fountains and fizzy-lifting drinks, this show will whisk you away to a candy-coated wonderland.
Since its founding in 2011, Zest has earned a reputation for punchy productions and big-hearted performances – all powered by local passion and community spirit. This latest show is no exception, showcasing an impressive cast of local performers of all ages, wrapped in vibrant costumes and dazzling sets that transform the Town Hall into Willy Wonka’s whimsical factory.
So grab your golden ticket (before they all disappear like Augustus up the chocolate pipe) and support local theatre at its most charming.
Tickets start from $18
