LYNN NEARY, HOST:
As Roald Dahl's "Charlie And The Chocolate Factory" comes to Broadway this spring, across town, a real-life Willy Wonka is whipping up his own new confections. Allyson McCabe takes us inside the darkly, whimsical world of a mysterious Brooklyn candy alchemist.
ALLYSON MCCABE, BYLINE 1: This tiny storefront lab isn't easy to find. The facade 2 is black. The signage is practically nonexistent. Inside, behind a purple satin curtain, a scientist toils 3 away on his latest invention.
EUGENE J.: There's so many variables - temperature, the humidity. You look at solubility 5 charts. When you add certain ingredients...
MCCABE: Not much is known about this man in black who calls himself Eugene J.
EUGENE J.: Since it's a seven-hour process, you get kind of taken away. Pretty much have to put in earplugs and enter a state of Zen, I suppose (laughter).
MCCABE: As hundreds of Day-Glo pellets tumble hypnotically inside a revolving 6 silver sphere, he recalls some of his earliest prototypes.
EUGENE J.: Everyone else had an Easy-Bake Oven. And I had this, like, candy making kit 7, which - with like a little double boiler 8 and little gizmos to cast gummies into little molds.
MCCABE: Eugene j. studied chemical engineering in college, then took a job in manufacturing. But he continued his experiments after hours. He moved to Berlin not far from a popular nightclub.
EUGENE J.: I would bike out at 2 a.m. in the morning and out of a briefcase 9, sell my double-sided lollipops 10.
MCCABE: Returning to New York, he quit his day job to apprentice 11 at Dylan's Candy Bar, stocking shelves at what's billed as the world's largest confectionery emporium. What he lost in salary, he gained in inspiration.
(SOUNDBITE OF FILM, "WILLY WONKA & THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY")
GENE 4 WILDER: (As Willy Wonka) (Singing) Come with me, and you'll be in a world of pure imagination.
EUGENE J.: Stocking Wonka Nerds and Wonka Runts or Wonka SweeTARTS, you know, Wonka was fully 12 in my head.
MCCABE: He opened the Eugene J. Candy Company a year ago - stocking wax fangs 13, gummy brains and scads of other offbeat 14 novelties. He also makes his own candy called FG. Freaks - a playful nod to Willy Wonka's rival, Fickelgruber.
EUGENE J.: So we're just going to take a ladle over here and add some of this sugar syrup 15 to the batch 16.
MCCABE: But when pushed for details, he's not entirely 17 forthcoming.
EUGENE J.: (Laughter) You're in Wonka's realm now, so anything is possible.
MCCABE: When the batch is complete, he funnels 18 the freaks into a glass apothecary 19 jar, stamps the wax top with an off-kilter jack-o'-lantern and places it on a slanted 20 shelf - part candy, part curio.
EUGENE J.: There is something to embrace about the perfectly 21 imperfect.
MCCABE: These kids find Eugene J.'s mysterious freaks irresistible 22.
UNIDENTIFIED CHILD: I like it. Good.
MCCABE: For NPR News, I'm Allyson McCabe in Brooklyn.
