PINOCCHIO
Our record-breaking Christmas show for 2024, PINOCCHIO!
When Gepetto, a poor carpenter, finds a piece of wood that can talk, he carves it into a puppet and is overjoyed when it miraculously comes alive. The next morning Pinocchio the puppet sets off to school but is easily led astray by temptation, selling his ABC book to buy a ticket to a puppet show. In a madcap chain of disasters, he meets a host of extraordinary characters, including a talking cricket, a blue fairy and a giant shark. He learns to dance and to sing but will he ever learn the qualities he needs to make him into a real boy?
