the play opens with willy wonka introducing himself, revealing that he's looking for an heir to run his legendary chocolate factory ("the candy man"). wonka disguises himself as the storeowner of a local candy shop, which quickly attracts the attention of the town's residents and candy- obsessed charlie bucket. despite having no money to spend on sweets, charlie frequents the shop regularly and befriends the owner, unaware that he is willy wonka. charlie tells him about wonka's career ("willy wonka! willy wonka!") and remarks that he would do anything to see inside the factory, giving wonka an idea. charlie returns to the decrepit shack he lives in ("the candy man reprise"), which he shares with his mother and four bed-ridden grandparents: grandpa george, grandma georgina, grandpa joe, and grandma josephine.
