Text of the introduction by Joseph Planta:

I am Planta: On the Line, in Vancouver, British Columbia, at TheCommentary.ca.

Mark Carter joins me again. The director and designer is on to preview the latest CTORA Theatre production, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, starting this Friday, 11 October 2024. It’ll be at the Norman and Annette Rothstein Theatre through to 27 October 2024. We all know those classic songs “Candy Man,” and “Pure Imagination.” This new musical blends those favourites with fresh numbers. And whether you remember the 1971 film or the original novel by Roald Dahl, there’ll be something familiar and welcome. I’ll ask Mark about the piece, as well as this production. It’s a big cast and a live 8-piece orchestra. You can visit www.ctora.ca for tickets and information. Please welcome back to the Planta: On the Line program, Mark Carter; Mr. Carter, good morning.
