Neary kids will be bringing quirky musical fun to town in a few weeks. Southborough students will be performing Willy Wonka Jr. from February 9th-11th. 

If you are somehow unfamiliar with the story, it’s based on the Roal Dahl children’s book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. (The Jr. script is based on the original movie musical classic starring Gene Wilder.) You can look forward to singing and dancing “Oompa Loompas”, an earnest Charlie and the famously odd candy man, Willy Wonka. 

Tickets are sold as assigned seats. So, reserve your seats now.

The Skyrise Children’s Theater production will be put on by 4th & 5th graders, mostly from Neary School.* As in past years, performers were split into two casts, each putting on two shows.

The students have been hard at work since the fall, learning routines like “Pure Imagination”.

The performances run Friday, February 9 – Sunday, February 11 in the Trottier Middle School auditorium. Ticket prices range from $9 for standard seats for children to $17 for premium rows.
