Pinocchio
Pinocchio is a one-hour musical adaptation of the original fairytale featuring colorful sets and props, sing-along songs, and plenty of audience participation!
It tells the story of Pinocchio, a puppet boy, and his adventures to become a real boy. First, we meet Geppetto, a Toymaker, who wishes on a shooting star that his puppet will awaken and become a real boy. The Blue Fairy flies in through the window and grants Geppetto’s wish. But … Pinocchio can only become a real boy if he learns to be honest, unselfish, and brave. Pinocchio’s adventures include a visit to a Puppet Theater, a Carnival, and inside of a whale! The kids in the audience are Pinocchio’s conscience and will always tell Pinocchio the right thing to do – but he doesn’t always listen!
