Lyrics by Sheldon Harnick
Book by Jerome Coopersmith
The lonely old carpenter, Geppetto, carves himself a son from wood and no sooner is the job done than the boy springs to life. The timeless adventures of the puppet who yearns to be a real boy are magically brought alive with a vibrant score from the lyricist of FIDDLER ON THE ROOF and the composer of ONCE UPON A MATTRESS. This beloved childrens classic, devised for a combined cast of puppets and live actors, still amazes and delights as it instills in youngsters the dangers of selfishness and the importance of honesty, while at the same time reminding the rest of us as well.
