The Newington Children's Theatre Company is proud to present their first show of 2017, Disney's My Son Pinocchio Jr, March 17-26. In Disney's My Son Pinocchio JR., the classic tale of toymaker, Geppettos, little wooden puppet is given new life. This new musical, which retells the classic Disney story from Geppettos perspective, features the beloved classic songs, When You Wish upon a Star and Ive Got No Strings, alongside a host of new songs by Oscar- 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.
