My Son Pinocchio Jr.

My Son Pinochio

Summer Family Classic (age 10-alumni)

We often use the term “perfect” to describe something as being stunning, wonderful... definitely desirable. But is this the actual goal? Some of the most important, awe-inspiring things are messy. Love, art, nature.

Again... perhaps the real beauty is in the imperfections. In this story, a new father quickly learns that being a parent is full of challenges. He struggles to make his son "the perfect boy," only to lose him to a gang of Roustabouts.

It is only when faced with the thought of never seeing his child again that Geppetto truly learns the joys of being a father and loving one's child unconditionally. Pinocchio with a twist! Instead of watching a child strive for perfection, we watch a parent realize that the best things in life are far from perfect.

Disney's My Son Pinocchio Jr., which retells the classic Disney story from Geppetto's perspective, features the beloved classic songs, "When You Wish upon a Star" and "I've Got No Strings," alongside loads of new songs by Stephen Schwartz, tackling timely issues about what it means to be "the perfect child" – and what it means to be "a real father."
