A Family Musical
Book and Lyrics by Max C. Golightly
Music by Neil K. Newell
(Suitable for performance by large cast Community, University/College, High School and Youth Theatre)
Inside each of us is a child–a little frightened, a bit unsure, wanting very much to find somewhere, someone to love. This is the story of a bond between a lonely woodcarver and a little wooden marionette who wanted so much to be a real boy. Through this story we learn that dreams are necessary–that love and belief are keys that open the doors to happiness. A new and delightful adaptation of Collodi’s classic. “A Broadway Quality Musical!”
A wonderful feature of this script is that it has two endings for TWO different times of the year. There is a Christmas Ending (the original ending), but there is also an ending for Valentines Day. The music cues are the same, but the lyrics, and the dialog, changes.
