Charlie’s Chocolate Factory has found its Wonka.

The actor Christian Borle, who has won two Tony Awards, for “Peter and the Starcatcher” and “Something Rotten!” will play Willy Wonka in a Broadway production of “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” next year, the producers announced Monday.

That makes for a busy season for Mr. Borle. This fall, between his departure from “Something Rotten!” and his arrival at “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” he is to play Marvin in a Lincoln Center Theater revival of “Falsettos.”

The musical version of “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” that is slated for Broadway is to be a substantially retooled version of a musical that has been playing in London since 2013. Both are adapted from the 1964 book by Roald Dahl; the Broadway version is expected to more explicitly echo the sounds of the 1971 musical film, “Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory.”

One new indication that the producers are serious about reworking the British production: they said that they had hired Basil Twist, the acclaimed puppeteer whose singular aesthetic last year won him a so-called genius grant from the MacArthur Foundation, to join the project.
