Caleb Reynolds (Pinocchio), Victoria Mooney (Blue Fairy) and Jamison Daniels (Geppetto)Gepetto & Son, a delightful, new musical take on the classic tale of “Pinocchio.” Under the direction of HCT Artistic Director Ryan Ratelle and Summar Elguindy, Gepetto plays April 30-May 9 at the Carol Autorino Center for Arts and Humanities on the campus of Saint Joseph College (1678 Asylum Avenue in West Hartford).
Gepetto & Son is a new take on the classic tale of a toymaker named Geppetto and his son Pinocchio’s journey from an awkward wooden puppet to a real, live boy. The Blue Fairy, Stromboli and a lively cast of characters take Geppetto beyond the toy shop to help him discover what makes a “perfect child.” This family-friendly musical features the beloved original songs “When You Wish Upon a Star” and “I’ve Got No Strings” from the classic 1940 Disney film "Pinocchio," now celebrating its 70th Anniversary. The score also features new material by Grammy Award-winner and multiple Tony Award nominee Stephen Schwartz (Wicked).
