Willy Wonka opens the show with "Pure imagination" and he is undercover as the "Candy Man" in the first act. We get to know Charlie's family (his mom and Grandpa Joe both get songs) and every single kid and their family get a song when they win a golden ticket. This how we learn how awful these kids are before they all meet at the factory.
Sorry. What I just described is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. In Willy Wonka he does the opening song and then essentially acts as a narrator for Act One. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory revival is on the West End and opens completely different to how it opens on Broadway with some other changes along the way.
