You must perform a monologue to be considered for a speaking part so be sure to include this in your video.
MONOLOGUES (aka Sides)
(Monologues don’t have to be memorized, but know them well enough to be able to add your own character to them.)
Pick one or two sides from the following character list:
Willy Wonka (Girl or Boy)
Charlie (Girl or Boy)
Grandpa (Boy)/Grandma Joe (Girl)
Phineas Trout (Girl or Boy)
Veruca (Girl)
Violet (Girl)
Mike (Boy)
Augustus (Boy)
(Speaking to Mrs. Gloop, after Augustus has fallen in the chocolate)
That pipe goes nowhere near the Marshmallow Room! It leads to the Strawberry Dipping Room, where he will be heated to a temperature of eighty-eight degrees Fahrenheit – or is that Celsius? I do mix the two up so often… sometimes with tragic consequences. (now speaking to the Oompa Loompas) In any case, someone will accompany Mrs. Gloop to the Strawberry Dipping Room , and when you get there take a long, sharp stick and start poking around the big chocolate-mixing barrel. But hurry! If you leave him too long he’s likely to be poured into the fudge boiler and that would be a tragedy!... Could damage the machinery!
(as he’s just about to leave Wonka’s factory for good…)
Um, goodbye Mr. Wonka... (hesitates) Just a minute Mr. Wonka. I don’t deserve the lifetime supply of chocolate. I... I tasted the fizzy lifting drink and I broke the rules. And I’m very sorry. But thank you for the wonderful day
and the most wonderful tour of your factory. I think it’s the most wonderful and incredible and exciting place in the whole wide world. Being here was better than Christmas. (PAUSE) What? I don’t understand? But, what about the other kids? (pause as if receiving info from Willy Wonka) You want me to run this entire factory? What about my mom and dad and Grandpa Joe? What? My whole entire family can live here? Well then….I’d love to – I’d positively love to!!
(Charlie’s kind grandpa/grandma, who once worked for Mr Wonka; he is telling Charlie about the factory)
No one goes in, Charlie, and no one comes out. Not since the tragic day that Willy Wonka locked it. All the other chocolate makers in the world were sending in spies-- dressed as workers!--to steal Mr. Wonka's secret recipes. Finally Mr. Wonka shouted, "I shall be ruined! Close the factory!" And that's just what he did. He locked the gates and vanished completely. And then suddenly, about three years later, the most amazing thing happened. The factory started working again, full blast! And more delicious candies were coming out than ever before. But the gates stayed locked so that no one could steal them!
(the reporter covering the Golden Ticket stories)
This is Phineous Trout with a direct TV link to Frankfurt, Germany. That’s right, ladies and gentlemen, people are buying over 50,000 Wonka bars every hour and the first Golden Ticket has been found! – Here’s the family now. Mrs. Droop, Mrs. Droop, may we have a word? Ladies and gentlemen, we are coming to you, live outside the gates of the Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory where history is about to be made. We’ve been told Mr. Willy Wonka himself will soon emerge from behind these mysterious gates. It seems something is happening. Yes, yes! Here he comes now, the chocolate genius of the century. Mr. Willy Wonka!
(watching TV speaking to his mother)
Shut your pie hole toots! Didn’t I tell you never to interrupt? And I’m not going to school….who needs school? Are you joking?! Or just crazy? I’ve got my screens and the net and the whole world in the palm of my hand I don’t got no time for school. Now, hush up….this is the best part! Crack, Smack, Whack! WOOOO! Did you see that guy wipe out? That was so totally awesome! (slight pause) Ma, I said Zip it! This next show is THE BOMB! Wait a minute….freeze frame…it’s my cell… (MIKE picks up his cell phone) Talk to me. Hold on, got another call. (MIKE holds up another phone to his ear) Talk to me. (to Phineas Trout the reporter) Dude, can’t you see I’m busy running an empire here? (speaking into one phone) Gotta go --- (speaking into the other phone) Catch ya later, dude… (to Phineous) Ok, now whadda ya want?
(With a German accent)

(Violet is being interview by Phineous the report)
I’m a gum chewer normally, but when I heard about Wonka’s contest, I laid off the gum and switched straight on to candy bars. That’s how I found my ticket! Now, of course, I’m right back on the gum. In fact, I’ve been working on this piece for over three months solid. I’ve beaten the record set by my best friend, Cornelia Prinzmetel. Hi, Cornelia, listen to this… (She chews loudly into the microphone) That’s the sound of you losing! …(SHE chews even more loudly adding, smacks and pops.) Chew on THAT, Princess Prinzmetel
(Veruca is speaking to Phineous, the reporter, who has just mispronounced her name on TV) :
My name is Veruca, you imbecile! VERUCA, VERUCA, VERUCA! I said Veruca, you moron. You pea brain!
Don’t you know who I am? Don’t you know who my Daddy is? He will have you fired for mispronouncing my name, won’t you Daddy? He bought hundreds of thousands of Wonka Bars to make sure I would win.
Daddy, this hideous reporter said my name wrong on live television, and now he’s being sarcastic! Can’t you get him fired? I want him fired. Fired! Do you hear me? Fired, fired, fired! Ugh, this is about me Daddy! They want to know about MY ticket and he can’t even get my name right!!
