Pinocchio
Bring the whole family together in London’s iconic Globe Theatre for Pinocchio, ★★★★★ ‘a beautiful, brand-new musical brimming with fun and magic’ (WhatsOnStage).
Don’t miss out on ‘an absolute treat… one of the best family shows around’ ★★★★ (The Telegraph) before the limited run ends on 4 January.
Dreaming of a life beyond his traditional town, restless maverick Geppetto makes a magical wooden puppet called Pinocchio. Together they set out to find family and discover the wonder of being human.
Full of ‘fabulous live music’ ★★★★ (The Reviews Hub) and packed with ‘blissful silliness… and boisterous humour’ ★★★★ (The Guardian), this is ‘a wonderful festive treat’ ★★★★ (Independent) for everybody age 5 and up.
With book and lyrics by Charlie Josephine (I, Joan, Globe; Cowbois, RSC/ Royal Court), and music and lyrics by Jim Fortune (Mr Gum and the Dancing Bear, Hex, National). Globe Associate Artistic Director Sean Holmes (Romeo and Juliet, Globe) directs.
Get creative together as a family in accompanying Puppetry and Drama workshops for ages 5–8 and 9–11.
‘What’s love? Well that’s a big thing to explain.’
