CHOC Follies XIX, the annual original musical comedy production that raises funds for CHOC Children’s, will present “Carly and the CHOCO Factory, An Orange County Musical of Sweethearts, Swindlers and Swashbucklers.”  

In this loving spoof of the classic "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” Carly, a sweet, single Orange County girl, dreams of visiting the magical factory where Choco, the beloved CHOC mascot, resides. Millie Zonka, who secretly guards the magic that transforms the dreams, runs the factory, and faces complications brought on by a band of crazy pirates blown in on the winds of El Niño!

The Follies has netted nearly $8 million for CHOC over the past 18 years, thanks to cast members and a stellar production team led by Founder and Executive Producer Gloria Zigner Goldberg, Associate Producer Lois Augustine, Director John Vaughan, Music Director Douglas Austin and Choreographer Lee Martino.
