Pinocchio
Visitors can experience a brand-new family pantomime following the wooden boy who wants to be real, Gepetto the toymaker, Criminy the Cricket, and the Blue Fairy. The production showcases musical numbers, vibrant costumes, a messy trip to Pleasure Island, and an eye-popping journey into the belly of a whale. The stage show features a blend of West End stars and familiar cast members.
