“…for rolling towards you at this very moment … at an incredible speed … is a chocolate covered ball of delicious excitement like none other you should hope to ever wrap your lips around!”

That’s right, just when you thought you’d heard it all from Ryan Landry and The Gold Dust Orphans, they’re back with their biggest, brightest, splashiest, trashiest, most “fantasti-est” musical yet!

Chock full of nuts, this creamy confection is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth, not to mention all those naughty cravings you’ve been suppressing lately. Cravings for adult comedy, groovy music and titillating adventure.

Based on the Roald Dahl classic, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Willie Wanker and the Hershey Highway also tells the tale of little Charlie Bucket … but with some very interesting twists! … We could spend our time (and yours) going over those twists but really, why spoil the fun?!

Willie Wanker and the Hershey Highway will star all your Orphan favorites … Ryan Landry as Willy Wanker, Billy Hough as Grandpa Joe, Penny Champayne as Veruca Salt, Kris Knievel as Augustus Gloop, Gene Dante as Mike Teevee, Liza Lott as Violet Beauregard and Megan Love as Charlie.

Sets by Windsor Newton. Costumes by The Glitter Twins. Direction by Larry Coen. Performing at Machine, 1254 Boylston Street (1 block from Fenway Park), playing every Friday and Saturday at 8PM and Sundays at 4PM from April 24th through May 24th.
