Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Welcome to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory performed by Gemco Players October 2025. 

​

Please Note: To audition for “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” you must be aged 8+ by the 3 October 2025. 

​

ACTING:  

Audition material will be available for principal characters. If you believe you can play the role then we want to see you audition for it. 

Dialogue is not required to be memorised, but we expect a good understanding of the text, and we want to see you bring the character to life. 

​

SINGING:  
Principal Role Auditions: 10 minutes in length. Please prepare 1 song of your choice in the style of the show. We want to hear you singing at your best, choose a song that shows off your vocal talents. 

Ensemble: Part of a song will be taught by the MD and you will then sing this in small groups.   

You may be asked to also sing solo if the panel identifies role possibilities. 

​

Dance Workshop Auditions: 

All auditionees will be required to attend the dance/movement component of the auditions on the 7th or 8th June. The dance audition will be split into two groups and consist of a dance warm up followed by a short routine. Once the set routine is learnt, auditionees will then perform the number in smaller groups. We will be looking for cast members who can listen to direction, learn and perform the routine quickly and show performance quality. 

Please wear comfortable clothes and shoes that you can safely dance in. No socks or bare feet.   

The specialist dance call will be for those featured dancers in the Golden Ticket Winner scenes and Oompa Loompa scenes. This will consist of a technique component to assess dance ability, high energy and characterisation and then re-perform the routine learnt in the movement auditions.  

​

CALL BACKS: may be held the same day if needed, not all roles will be called
