Disney’s My Son Pinocchio

June 1-24, 2018



South Euclid, OH – Mercury Theatre Company kicks off our 20th Anniversary Season with Disney’s My Son Pinocchio, a reimagining of the 1940 Walt Disney classic, June 1-24, 2018.



Pinocchio leaves Geppetto’s workshop for fantastic adventures that test his bravery, loyalty and honesty, until he triumphs in his quest for his heart’s desire: to become a real boy. Grammy Award-winner, and master songwriter, Stephen Schwartz adds a charming and compelling score of original songs to the beloved classics “When You Wish Upon a Star” and “I’ve Got No Strings”.



“Bringing this Disney masterpiece to the stage is a challenge I have been waiting years to try,” says Mercury Theatre Company Artistic Director Pierre Brault. “ With life-size marionettes, a dancing cricket, fantastic villains and even a giant whale, Pinocchio is feast for the eyes and ears. It’s a dream come true.”



My Son Pinocchio is directed by Pierre-Jacques Brault with musical direction by Eddie Carney. Pinocchio puppetry is created by The Jim Henson Center for Puppetry Arts.



Led by MTC 2018 company members Kelly Monaghan (Jiminy Cricket), Brian Marshall (The Fox), Jonathan Bova (Geppetto), and introducing Bill Wetherbee as Pinocchio, this classic tale of love and acceptance is ready to ‘wish’ its way into audiences’ hearts. Rated G.



Spectacular Group rates are available for parties of 10 or more. Call 216-771-5862 for details.
