G.E.M. I Am Gloria World Tour 2.0 – Singapore

The Oompa-Loompas have begun to dance as musical Charlie And The Chocolate Factory enters its opening week here.
Based on British author Roald Dahl’s 1964 children’s novel of the same name, the stage production brings to life the book’s chocolate rivers, nut-sorting squirrels and fantastical creations. Telling the adventures of a boy who discovers a golden ticket and enters a magical factory owned by eccentric chocolatier Willy Wonka, it is full of sweet surprises and unexpected twists.
Its most well-known song is Pure Imagination, written by British composers Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley for the 1971 movie Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory, also based on Dahl’s novel.
The whimsical number has been featured extensively in popular culture, including on the comedy-drama series Glee (2009 to 2015) and movie Wonka (2023).
