A Triple Treat! Get to Know Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’s Jake Ryan Flynn, Ryan Foust & Ryan Sell

There is a place that's just as magical as Willy Wonka's chocolate factory, and it's Broadway. Beginning on March 28, the two glorious worlds become one at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Three lucky golden ticket holders will make their Great White Way debuts in the role of Charlie Bucket. Jake Ryan Flynn, Ryan Foust and Ryan Sell (we know—it's a lot of Ryans!) will share the role. Just like Charlie, they may be small, but they're mighty. Flynn, Foust and Sell will be sharing their first Broadway gig with heavy-hitters like Christian Borle, Jackie Hoffman, director Jack O'Brien and more. Take a look at Broadway.com's sweet photo session with these triple threats treats, and get to know them below!
