	We did WIlly Wonka last year. We struggled with the fizzy lifting scene and came up with a solution that went over great! We built 2 see saws and painted them black. We ran the see saws perpendicular to the audience. Charlie and Grampa Joe sat facing the audience on each see saw , so they were stting "backwards" on the see saw yet facing the audience. We opened the the curtain just enough to fit the 2 see saws side by side, and stage crew sat on the other sides of the see saw. The lights were dim, so you couldn't see them at all. We had a bubble machine going, and Charie and Grampa Joe slowly backed up while they had dialogue. Stage crew lifted the see saws when they were in place and they started the fyling song. Stage crew moved the see saw gently up and down, Chalie and grampa were able to move their arms and legs. Then, when the burping started, crew drop them them a little with each burp. The audience loved it!!!

	You can get the blow up costumes from ebay or lots of other online costume stores.

	Hi, I called MTI to get clarification on the Jr versus TYA versions of the show: The Jr versions are written with child actors in mind. The TYA versions are intended to be performed by adults for youth audiences. Hope that helps!

	Thanks for the great idea! We used mostly student paper mache art for the candy props but needed a few extra pieces. This rounded out our collection nicely :-)
