From a rundown shack to a dazzling glass elevator, we took a look behind-the-scenes at Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

The hit musical is at Norwich Theatre Royal until April 29 and it is touring the UK following runs on both the West End and Broadway.

While the show is in Norwich, we were invited to take a sneak peek backstage at all the colourful costumes, weird and wonderful props and extravagant sets.

This included the glittering Oompa Loompa outfits, the chocolate pipe Augustus Gloop gets stuck in and piles of Wonka bars.

It took 12 45-foot trailers, three days and a crew of 40 to bring the show into Norwich and there are 113 costumes and 70 wigs.

The stage management team handwraps 56 chocolate bars every week, making sure the golden tickets are in the right ones.

West End star Gareth Snook plays Willy Wonka and the show is based on the Roald Dahl story, featuring songs from the 1971 film, such as The Candy Man and Pure Imagination, alongside new numbers.
