I saw Willy Wonka in NYC last summer and am excited to be doing the Jr version of the show locally in April 2019.

Unfortunately, in May of 2018, we purchased the licensing for Willy Wonka JR in May - one of our three 2018-19 Season musicals - so that we can legally market all three upcoming productions.  I just recently learned that a NEW, updated version of Willy Wonka Jr is ready and will be on the shelves at MTI in September!  We had no idea that an update was "in progress" - had we known, we would have likely selected a different production this year.

Can you please help guide me on who to talk to about getting the NEW version of this show?  My MTI licensing rep said I would need to now purchase an additional new showkit.   I can't afford to do so, but I also really want to produce the most current version available for this awesome show.

Hi Karen! The 'updated' version refers to the format of the materials. The materials have been re-packaged, but the script and score for Willy Wonka JR. remain the same. Hope this helps!
