The viral Willy Wonka event will be adapted into a musical, aiming to evoke emotion and avoid tears, according to the show's lead producer.
Paul Connell was asked to play the lead role as Willy Wonka at a cancelled event in a Glasgow warehouse, resulting in disappointed families.
The actor said the image director Paul King sent as a joke "shocked" his kids.
The highly-anticipated film "Wonka," featuring Timothée Chalamet as Willy Wonka in an origin story based on Roald Dahl's iconic character, has received mixed reviews from critics. While some praised Chalamet's performance and the film's entertainment value, others noted the absence of the darker elements seen in previous versions of the character.
