Mid-Summer Moon Productions is proud to produce Disney’s My Son Pinocchio: Geppetto’s Musical Tale, a beautiful retelling of the classic from Geppetto’s perspective. Saturday's matinee will include a Q & A with the cast immediately after the show. Audience members will also be invited backstage to see the "magic of theatre."
"Join the Blue Fairy, Stromboli, and a lively cast of characters, as Geppetto journeys beyond the toy shop 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 one's child unconditionally."
The musical features the beloved songs, “When You Wish Upon a Star” and “I’ve Got No Strings,” with music by Leigh Harline, Lyrics by Ned Washington from the Walt Disney Motion Picture PINOCCHIO, and additional numbers from Oscar and Grammy-winning Stephen Schwartz. This family-friendly musical is a blend of heartwarming fairytale and action-packed adventure - appropriate for all ages.
Online tickets are $13.25 for adults and $11.25 for children (12 and under). Doors open approximately one hour before the show and it is general seating.
Disney’s My Son Pinocchio: Geppetto’s Musical Tale is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International(MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI.
