ACT@TUTS' presents the fifth annual production of Disney's Geppetto & Son target="_blank" />. Combining the much-loved characters of the classic Disney cartoon Pinocchio (along with its familiar song hits "When You Wish Upon A Star" and "Got No Strings") with the popular Drew Carey television film Geppetto, this new take pulls a few fresh strings for the most famous puppet in the world.

With careful guidance by the film's composer, Stephen Schwartz, Disney's Geppetto & Son pairs the modern sensibility of Schwartz's Wicked with the traditional storybook tale for a fun and fresh result. The adventurous and heartwarming musical features unforgettable music and lyrics by Award-winning Schwartz, best known for his songs for the stage including Wicked, Godspell, and Pippin as well as his lyrics in the popular Disney films Pocahontas, The Hunchback of Notre Dame and The Prince of Egypt.
