THE SHOW:

Disney's My Son Pinocchio JR. In this show 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.” The show is filled with a magical mix of unique roles for all types of performers — from blue Fairies, to Roustabouts and, of course, Geppetto and Pinocchio.
