The famous story of the wooden puppet who learns to be a real boy is told from the perspective of his father in this adaptation of Pinocchio. The story is narrated by the Blue Fairy -- and her Fairies in Training -- and features favorite songs such as "When You Wish Upon a Star" and "I’ve Got No Strings." The adventures abound from Geppetto’s Toy Shop, to inside a whale, to Pleasure Island … and all the places in between!

Fairies [Rosa, Viola, Arancia, Sue] (G3 - E5); age 8-15 - may consider younger
