Hold Your Breath, Make a Wish, Count to Three In a charming, historic chocolate shop nestled in a picturesque cobblestone alley in old Philadelphia, a young chocolatier named “Valrhona” is on the verge of discovering her family’s rich history of confectionary magic, when her treasured family recipe book mysteriously vanishes… Years later, a quirky young man has become the city’s most influential chocolate maker, hiding secrets as rich and complex as his most decadent truffles. When golden tickets spark a citywide treasure hunt, a group of lucky (but not necessarily good) children must navigate a realm where their sweetest fantasies and fears come to life. Join us as we fly through lollipop aerial hoops and balance on licorice tightropes. Glide on gilded eggs and soar over rivers of molten chocolate, parkour across the peaks of rock candy mountains, and venture through honey-filled caves. But beware! Our heroes must fight off some frightening creatures, including Hornswagglers, Whangdoodles, and the dreaded Vermicious Knids! Meanwhile, a formidable rival lurks in the factory shadows. As our protagonists tumble through this confectionary wonderland, they’ll discover that the greatest magic isn’t found in ancient recipes, but in the courage to forge your own path and honor your family’s legacy. Through jaw-dropping aerial escapades, acrobatic trials and heartwarming moments of self-discovery, they learn that love and connection are the key ingredients to a sweet life!
