In Disney’s My Son Pinocchio, the classic tale of toymaker Geppetto’s little wooden puppet is given new life. This new musical, told from Geppetto’s perspective, features the beloved classic songs “When You Wish Upon a Star” and “I’ve Got No Strings,” alongside a host of new songs by Oscar and Grammy Award winner Stephen Schwartz, tackling timely issues about what it means to be “the perfect child” – and what it means to be a “real father.”

The Blue Fairy, along with four fairies in training, greet the audience singing When You Wish Upon a Star but are soon interrupted by Geppetto complaining that Pinocchio is not turning out to be the boy he expected.  Geppetto asks the Blue Fairy to take Pinocchio back because he is defective. The Blue Fairy is outraged and arranges for all involved to travel back in time in order to learn the truth about Geppetto’s complaint. A series of flashbacks show us Pinocchio’s first day of school, his running away to become part of Stromboli’s circus, his encounter with being swallowed by a whale and his eventual return to Geppetto.

We look forward to having you join us, the Blue Fairy, Stromboli and a lively cast of characters as Geppetto journeys beyond the toy shop to discover the meaning of family. This family-friendly musical is appropriate for all audiences and is a magical mix of heartwarming fairytale and action-packed adventure. Audiences will love following Pinocchio’s journey from an awkward wooden puppet to a real, live boy and will be charmed by Geppetto’s transformation from demanding creator to a real, live father.
