ARAs winter vacation approaches, Buenos Aires' theater scene is updating its lineup with family-friendly performances designed for children, teenagers, and adults alike. The highlight is 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,' a high-level musical featuring 26 actors who bring all characters to life. The production began development a year ago, involving detailed set design, costumes, wigs, and props. Magalí Altman, head of production, emphasized creating a fantasy world that matches the story's quality and surprises audiences from the start. Agustín 'Rada' Aristarán plays Willy Wonka, chosen for his talent, humor, and musical ability. Sebastián Almada was cast as Grandpa Joe after a strong audition, while Mery del Cerro, previously worked with on 'Casi Ángeles,' was selected for her warmth and maternal instincts as Mrs. Bucket. The show includes four casts of child actors aged 10–14, who undergo rigorous training similar to adult performers.
