Jason Wright

Willy Wonka

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory musical follows poor but kind-hearted Charlie Bucket, who wins one of five Golden Tickets to tour the fantastical Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory with four other bratty children: Augustus Gloop, Veruca Salt, Violet Beauregarde, and Mike Teavee. Inside, they encounter magical candy creations and mischievous Oompa-Loompas, but each naughty child succumbs to temptation (gluttony, greed, gum-chewing, TV addiction) and gets removed from the tour, proving Charlie's inherent goodness and humility make him the only worthy heir to Wonka's chocolate empire.

Jason Wright ( Willy Wonka) has been singing for over 30 years, beginning in high school and church before venturing onto professional stages, including Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall. His musical journey has wound through classical pieces, theatrical productions, and years of band performances—always led by curiosity, imagination, and a touch of mischief.

With the release of his latest Song Disclosure (One Night Stand) January 2026 Jason is Delighted to step inside Cutting Edge Theater’s Willy Wonka, He dedicates this performance to his daughter Isabella, his miracle child, who drifted to sleep each night as he sang “Pure Imagination.” Though music is his craft, Jason’s greatest works of art are his daughters, Faith (24) and Isabella (7). He believes the best things in life begin with wonder, a little courage, and the simple truth that magic is real… but it must be believed to be seen. 🍬🍫 🎩✨
