It Was a World of Pure Imagination! Who can take a sunrise,
Sprinkle it with dew,
Cover it with chocolate and a miracle or two.
The Candy Man.
Oh, the Candy Man can (and the WONKA cast too!)
The Candy Man and WONKA Cast can
'Cause they mix it all with love
And make the world taste good! What a show! We are so proud of all of our Middle School Willy Wonka performers and stage crew for presenting such a magical show! Special thanks to all the parent volunteers who shared their gifts of time, talent, and creativity to bring the set, costumes and playbill to life.
