Watch John Stamos Perform "Pure Imagination" in WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY Live Concert
So over the weekend, a bunch of celebs got together at the Hollywood Bowl to pay homage to Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory in a live concert. Willy Wonka, like many things, terrified me in my youth but inspired me in my older years. Gene Wilder was absolutely magnificent in the original, but, the actors and celebs that got together this weekend were pretty great too.
John Stamos, Weird Al, and Finn Wolfhard are just a few of the actors who were in attendance and performing on stage. They performed musical numbers from the original classic with John Stamos singing "Pure Imagination" while Weird Al sang the Oompa Loompa songs while completely decked in orange skin and green hair. If it sounds pretty cool, that's because it was.
Obviously, not all of us could have been there, so luckily there are people who recorded parts of it and posted it online. Check out John Stamos performing "Pure Imagination" below. It is magical.
