History Theatre / CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory

** The new song "You Got Whacha Want" replaces "Juicy!"/"When Willy Met Oompa" for Violet's demise, with a basketball-themed staging.

** Charlie's "How'ja do?" {{Catchphrase}} in Act One is inspired by the BreakingTheFourthWall introduction to the character in the opening chapter, in which he, via the third-person narrator, greets the reader with "How d'you do? And how d'you do? And how d'you do again?"

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: Mr. Wonka does a bag check for each of the Four Bratty Kids and their parents. While he doesn't bat an eye at the cleaver, grenade, or small mace he finds in the others' bags, he balks at the rubber duck in Violet's, tossing it offstage with a GirlyScream.

''With Klonopin and Paxil,''\\
'' 'til I'm spinning from my axel''\\
''Then Zoloft to Lexopam''\\
'' 'til mommy doesn't give a damn!''\\

* BigRedButton: Played for laughs. Upon boarding the Great Glass Elevator, Mr. Wonka instructs Charlie to push the button marked ''Don't Push''. By then, Charlie is smart enough to know that "Something crazy's going to happen, isn't it?" (Mr. Wonka asks "How did you guess?")

** The new song "You Got What You Want" replaces "Juicy!"/"When Willy Met Oompa" for Violet's demise, with a basketball-themed staging.
