Geppetto's Musical Tale
''Disney's My Son Pinocchio: Geppetto's Musical Tale'' is a musical based on Disney's 2000 made-for-television movie ''Geppetto'', which was in turn based on a book by David Stern, and features music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz. Much like the movie, ''My Son Pinocchio'' is a re-telling of the 1883 Italian children's book ''The Adventures of Pinocchio'' by Carlo Collodi, but the story is told from Geppetto's perspective. As in the TV film, when Pinocchio runs away to become a star in Stromboli's puppet show, Geppetto must negotiate through a maze of adventures and comic encounters to find him. The musical premiered under its former name, ''Disney's Geppetto & Son'', at The Coterie Theatre, Kansas City, Missouri in 2006. Background David Stern and Stephen Schwartz completed the made-for-TV film Disney's ''Geppetto'' in 2000. Several years later, the idea for a child-appropriate stage musical adaptation came up.

Musicals Based On Films
Musical theatre is a form of theatrical performance that combines songs, spoken dialogue, acting and dance. The story and emotional content of a musical – humor, pathos, love, anger – are communicated through words, music, movement and technical aspects of the entertainment as an integrated whole. Although musical theatre overlaps with other theatrical forms like opera and dance, it may be distinguished by the equal importance given to the music as compared with the dialogue, movement and other elements. Since the early 20th century, musical theatre stage works have generally been called, simply, musicals. Although music has been a part of dramatic presentations since ancient times, modern Western musical theatre emerged during the 19th century, with many structural elements established by the works of Gilbert and Sullivan in Britain and those of Harrigan and Hart in America. These were followed by the numerous Edwardian musical comedies and the musical theatre wor ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
