Original 'Willy Wonka' Stars Join Edinburgh Fringe Parody Musical
Julie Dawn Cole and Paris Themmen return to narrate a stage reading inspired by a failed Glasgow event.
- The musical parody, Willy's Candy Spectacular, will run from August 9-26 at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
- Cole and Themmen, who played Veruca Salt and Mike Teevee in the 1971 film, will narrate the show on different dates.
- The show is based on a widely criticized Glasgow event that promised a magical experience but disappointed attendees.
- The cast includes Kirsty Paterson, known as the Sad Oompa Loompa from the Glasgow event, and several other notable performers.
- Producers Richard Kraft and Andy Fickman have assembled a team of top songwriters and a talented cast for the production.
