Geppetto journeys beyond the toy shop 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.

The show will be performed in the school on Wednesday evening at 7pm, with all ages welcome to go and seeing the back story of how Pinocchio became a “real boy”.

Songs played in the musical are written and produced by Grammy Award-winning songwriter Stephan Schwartz with legendary classics such as ‘When You Wish Upon a Star’ and ‘I've Got No Strings’ from the original Walt Disney Film in 1940.

The children who are retelling the story will be able to amaze their family and friends as the cast includes dancers, fairy’s and also ballerina dancing.

Rest assured, anyone who goes along to witness the show will be “stringing” along to the lyrics.
