Willy`s Candy Spectacular: A Musical Parody introduces first demo

The new musical is based on the Willy Wonka Experience in Glasgow

In February, the Willy's Chocolate Experience in Glasgow created an enormous scandal when families booked tickets to an immersive experience based on Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory and the 2023 prequel film Wonka. What they got was unexpected, but in a very bad way.

This experience inspired Riki Lindhome, Alan Zachary and Michael Weiner, Tova Litvin and Doug Rockwell, and Daniel Mertzlufft to write a musical parody.

The world premiere staged reading of Willy's Candy Spectacular: A Musical Parody is set to play at Edinburgh Festival Fringe August 9-26Watch 

“We love musicals with epic opening numbers," Zachary and Weiner, composers of the first song said. "And we thought—what could be more epic than John Stamos singing about the end of humanity and linking our species’ demise to an underwhelming immersive experience in Scotland?"
