The classic tale of an aging toymaker and his puppet, Pinocchio, takes on timely issues in Disney's My Son Pinocchio JR. Grammy Award-winner and master melodist Stephen Schwartz adds a compelling score of original songs to the beloved classics "When You Wish Upon a Star" and "I've Got No Strings." Join the Blue Fairy, Stromboli, and a lively cast of characters as Geppetto journeys beyond the Toy Shop to discover what makes the "perfect child."

This family-friendly musical is appropriate for all audiences and is a magical mix of heartwarming fairytale and action-packed adventure. Audiences will love following Pinocchio's journey from an awkward wooden puppet to a real, live boy and will be charmed by Geppetto's transformation from demanding creator to a real, live father.

The classic fairy tale of Rapunzel comes to life in an exciting new musical featuring that beautiful princess with the long, long, long hair trapped in the tower, a handsome young suitor who doesn't quite know what he's searching for – of course, an evil witch who has her eye on what should be Rapunzel's kingdom, and a tired, yet philosophical, old dragon who tries to make sense of it all! A charming musical adventure for the whole family – from the writing team that created last season's How I Became a Pirate!

Heading down the Yellow Brick Road to find the Wizard and their way back home to Kansas, Dorothy, and Toto meet some new friends: a scrawny Scarecrow needing a brain, a rusty Tin Man needing a heart, and a Cowardly Lion needing courage. The Wicked Witch of the West tries to get rid of these intruders and claim Dorothy's ruby slippers. With the help of Glinda the Good Witch and the awareness that they already possess the qualities they were looking for, success soon comes to them all. There really is no place like home.
