“Pinocchio must prove himself brave, truthful and unselfish, but what about the toymaker? Raising a perfect child might not be as easy as it looks. The Blue Fairy and her Fairies in Training lead Geppetto on a hilarious journey through this fractured fairy-tale in order to discover what it means to be “A real father.” Oscar and GRAMMY Award – winner Stephen Schwartz adds a brand-new score to the classic Disney hits, “When You Wish Upon a Star” and “I’ve Got No Strings.” MY SON PINOCCHIO is the perfect show for all the family.”
