How I would have staged When Willy Met Oompa.
It comes straight after Simply Second Nature and right before AugustusāsĀ ādeathā song.
The Oompa Loompas come onstage via a boat that comes from around behind the waterfall
Before they enter, a thumping of drums is heard
Veruca, of course, immediately wants one
Poor Mrs. Teavee canāt believe her eyes when she first sees them
Mike wants to know if he can kill them
Mrs. Gloop wonders if theyāre also edible (Wonka corrects her fast)
Augustus disappears at the beginning of the song (more on that later)
Mrs. Teavee and the Buckets are really the only ones who pay any attention to the lyrics of the song itself
When the dance part of the song begins, Mrs. Gloop starts getting down with it (and so does Violet a little later on)
Veruca chases the Oompa Loompas, in hopes of catching one, constantly during the song
During the short break after ā...we shook with a chocolate shake!ā, the dancers break apart and- thereās Augustus, drinking out of the river! (But only the audience sees him.)
During the last verse of the song, Wonka actually dances with Mrs. Teavee (who doesnāt mind)
At the end of the song, thereās a loud splash; everyone immediately notices that Augustus has fallen into the river and it segues to the dialogue right before Auf Wiedersehen
