Finn was joined by John Stamos as Willy Wonka, Weird Al as the Oompa Loompas, Elle King as Veruca Salt, Giancarlo Espacito as The Candyman, Ingrid Michaelson as Mrs Bucket and Richard Kind as Grampa Joe. All the classic songs from the movie were featured including 'Pure Imagination', 'I've Got A Golden Ticket' and 'I Want It Now'.
Even more exciting, the show was presented in 'Smell-O-Rama', with exclusive Scratch-N-Sniff Golden Tickets providing fans with an extra sensory experience. The event also featured "a factory of treats, including a costume contest and special projections on the surface of the Bowl created by acclaimed painter, designer, and illustrator Shag".
Finn is of course no stranger to music, his band Calpurnia gaining a big following online thanks to their covers of 80s and grunge classics as well as TV themes like Twin Peaks.
