The fairy tale classic PINOCCHIO gets a new spin in Marc Robin's imaginative, musical version running at Marriott Theatre For Young Audiences, 10 Marriott Drive, July 15 through August 29. Marriott Theatre for Young Audiences favorite, Rachel Rockwell (Seussical, Wizard of Oz, Princess and the Pea, Aladdin), will direct and choreograph.
Pinocchio is the story of a wooden puppet that is magically given the gift of animation by the wish of a wood carver, Geppetto, granted by a loving Blue Fairy. Geppetto, the puppet maker, sends Pinocchio out into the world with hopes that he will learn to become a real boy. On the puppet's fantastic journey, he encounters the wily team of cat and fox and an evil puppeteer who seeks to exploit Pinocchio's unusual talent by capturing him. Coaxed into an amazing trip to a candy island and then to the belly of a whale, Pinocchio's adventure is sure to dazzle and delight audiences of all ages.Music, lyrics and book are by Marc Robin.Daily performances for PINOCCHIO, including Saturdays and Sundays are at 10 a.m., with several select performances at 12:30 p.m. Please visit www.MarriottTheatre.com or call the box office at 847-634-0200 for the exact schedule.
