A theatre made out of cut out colourful paper. In between red pillars and under a roof that reads 'The Globe Theatre' with a crescent moon, the letters for 'Pinocchio' hang down on golden strings, in front of a twinkling night sky. The words 'a magical new musical' appear on a blue ribbon, above a green grasshopper standing on some white clouds.
