Disney’s My Son Pinocchio Jr.
A Youth & Little Ones Workshop
Director: Nicholas Duisenberg
Choreographer: Lizzy Carey
Musical Director: Jennifer Vaughn
SUMMARY:
In Disney's My Son Pinocchio JR., the classic tale of toymaker, Geppetto’s, little wooden puppet is given new life. This new musical, which retells the classic Disney story 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 winner and Grammy Award winner, Stephen Schwartz.
Join the Blue Fairy, Stromboli and a lively cast of characters as Geppetto journeys beyond the toyshop to discover the meaning of family. When the Blue Fairy grants Geppetto's wish to bring his beloved puppet to life, the new father quickly learns that being a parent is full of challenges. He struggles to make his son "the perfect boy," only to lose him to a gang of Roustabouts. It is only when faced with the thought of never seeing Pinocchio again that Geppetto truly learns the joys of being a father and loving his child unconditionally.
*This Youth & Little Ones Workshop will have two casts (Tuesday cast and Wednesday cast). All dates and times for each cast are listed below.
*With Disney or other productions that we do not write ourselves, not every student will have lines. Those productions put more focus on an ensemble.
