As a child, I remember watching Warner Bros. Pictures’ classic, “Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory™” starring Gene Wilder over and over again. As I watch the film, I would imagine what I would do if I had an opportunity to visit a factor like Willy Wonka. To be completely honest, I am still waiting for some big brand too, at some degree recreate the magical factor.
Next Saturday, 11/4, which also happens to be National Candy Day! The classic film will be brought to life in a concert at the Hollywood Bowl.

The experience will also be presented in SMELL-O-RAMA with guests receiving exclusive Scratch-N-Sniff Golden Tickets and will kick off with a costume contest hosted by original cast member Julie Dawn Cole, who memorably played Veruca Salt.
