Pinocchio (Henry)
This fast-paced musical, set in colorful 19th Century Italy tells the familiar story of an impish puppet who longs to be a real boy. Willful and disobedient, help, runs away from the kindly Geppeto to see the world with con artists Fox and Cat. Pinocchio’s wild adventures take him from a sinister puppet theatre, to Busy Beeville, menacing Funland, and finally into the belly of a whale, where he barely escapes with the help of the Blue Fairy to return home, change his ways, and become a real boy. With rollicking songs, comedy, suspense, and warmth.
