Disney Reportedly Bringing Pinocchio to the Stage

Disney Theatricals and London's National Theatre are teaming up for a stage musical version of the 1940 animated film Pinocchio, according to published reports in London's Daily Mail.

The musical would reunite Tony-winning Once collaborators John Tiffany (director) and Enda Walsh (book), with a score made up of songs from the film including "When You Wish Upon a Star," "Give a Little Whistle," "Hi-Diddle-Dee-Dee (an Actor's Life for Me)," and "I've Got No Strings."

Tiffany's frequent partners Steven Hoggett (choreography) and Bob Crowley (scenic and costume design) are also on board for the production, which will have its premiere during Christmastime in 2016 if a workshop later this year goes according to plan.
