CHARLIE and the Chocolate Factory’s original Veruca Salt has come out of retirement to star in a musical about Glasgow’s Willy Wonka disaster.
And Julie Dawn Cole, 66, says she can’t wait to meet Scottish Oompah Loompa Kirsty Paterson – who is also starring in the stage show.
Julie starred as the demanding and spoiled Veruca in the original Willy Wonka film alongside Gene Wilder in 1971, when she was just 13.
She will now narrate Willy’s Candy Spectacular: A Musical Parody, which has its world premiere at Edinburgh Fringe.
The show spoofs Glasgow’s disastrous Willy Wonka experience event, which saw angry families spend up to £35 to attend a sparsely decorated warehouse last February.
