Casting
Character Breakdown
The sly, charming star of the show. Lithe, eccentric. His larger than life persona can go from charming and comical, to magically mysterious and dark.
Sweet, smart, hopeful and loving. A boy with wonderful innocence and vulnerability.
Impish. He is Charlie's imaginative, fun, kind and loving grandfather. After many years being confined to a bed, his childish energy returns when Charlie finds the Golden Ticket.
Charlie's warm and kind-hearted mother. Worrier. Generous and loving.
Augustus's German, moronic, Wagnerian mother. Mirthlessly smiles as though it were affixed to the front of her face.
Rampantly over-active.
Veruca's goofy, eccentric, distracted, hilarious father. Finds it impossible to say no, giving in to every ridiculous demand his daughter makes.
Vicious and determined.
Violet's ineffectual father. Ignores his back-talking, insult-hurling daughter.
Confident, forward, and full of attitude.
A fireplug with a ridiculous amount of energy.
She needs amphetamines to get through the day and deal with her outrageous son. Tense, extreme, and hilarious.
