Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is currently showing at the Aronoff Center in Cincinnati through November 4. Be ready to bring along the kids, or even embrace your own inner child, as you see that a thriving imagination can be anyone's "golden ticket!"

When Willie Wonka decides that it's time to bring his renowned chocolate factory once more into the spotlight, he devises a contest to find the next great chocolatier. When five lucky children find the sought-after golden tickets, a tour through Wonka's factory ensues, as the true motive of each contestant is revealed in the most extraordinary ways.

Henry Boshart in the role of young Charlie Bucket is absolutely mesmerizing. His zeal and excitement showcases the inspiration of Charlie in a new way, as his chemistry with Willie Wonka, played by Noah Weisberg, is truly endearing. Weisberg's every one-liner and nuance is also embraced by the audience, as they get a peek at the creative man behind the top hat.

Based on the novel by Roald Dahl, you'll hear familiar favorites from the motion picture, such as "I've Got a Golden Ticket" and "Pure Imagination," blended seamlessly with heartwarming new songs like "It Must Be Believed to Be Seen" and "The View From Here."
