LE AVVENTURE DI PINOCCHIO (Italian/English)
A fantastical musical set in Oz
by Louise Hall & Melinda Phillips,
directed by Louise Hall
Suitable: K-6 & festivals
Duration: 50 minutes
Based on Carlo Collodi’s timeless tale, the story takes place “Downunder” in a time where telephones, karaoke, the magical “Fata Blu” and “La Balena” all co-exist. With a delicious blend of humour, fast action and tear-jerking pathos, students will relate to the trials and tribulations of Pinocchio through his journey to become “un vero ragazzo.”
Students will engage in audience participation and sing along to catchy, fun tunes as Pinocchio’s story unfolds, the tale that begins with “un pino magico……..!”
