Pinocchio - A Magical Children's Musical - Habima Theatre

Music: Miron Minster. Directed by: Gama Fried. "Pinocchio" is a dazzling, magic-filled musical, brimming with humor, inspiration, and the joy of storytelling. The play was created by Ephraim Sidon and Miron Minster, inspired by the classic, renowned story by Carlo Collodi — a work that speaks to young children and to adults who still carry a childlike curiosity that has never faded. At the heart of the story stands Geppetto, an old, lonely carpenter who devotes his days to woodworking but has longed for years for one wish — a son who will fill his home with warmth and life. One day Geppetto decides to carve a wooden puppet shaped like a boy, and once it stands before him, he gives it the name Pinocchio. Miraculously, the Blue Fairy hears his secret wish and brings the puppet to life, giving it a beating spark of life. But for Pinocchio, this awakening is not an ending but a beginning — the start of a broad, moving, multifaceted journey. Along the way he is accompanied by the Cricket, who serves as his faithful conscience and guide, and through a series of surprising encounters and adventures — some funny, some moving, and at times even challenging — Pinocchio sets out on the deepest journey of all: the journey to become the best version of himself, and to fulfill his greatest dream of all — to become a real boy. Featuring: Yigal Sade, Assaf Zalmanovich, Ronit Apel, Hila Shalev, Nir Zelichovsky, Nil Meshaan, Yoav Milshtein, Gal Goldstein / Ofek Zarko, Gal Shitrit.
