PHOTOS: Willy Wonka's Fabulous Flying Adventure

Burnsville High opened its last play of the season, "Willy Wonka," on Thursday, dazzling the crowd with aerial feats, song and dance.

Burnsville High School Theatre Guild presents its last show of the season — a "sticky-sweet" musical performance of Roald Dahl's "Willy Wonka," one of the most technically challenging plays in the annals of BHS theater. The challenge for Artistic Director Randy Day: To get Charlie and Grandpa Joe to fly, blow up Violet Beauregard into a bad-tempered blueberry, and build a technicolor Wonka Factory in just a few weeks time. You know, the usual.
