ACT I
We are greeted by Grillo, a cricket, who lives in Geppetto's Puppet Shop in
Salerno, Italy. The town is preparing for THE FESTIVAL OF SPRING. When
Geppetto arrives home, Fedelia gives him the dinner she has prepared.
After all these years, she still takes care of him. Fedelia leaves and Geppetto
goes to work on his new puppet, Pinocchio. Somehow he senses that
Pinocchio understands everything he is saying to him. Geppetto wishes that
Pinocchio could be his son...a real boy. ENOUGH FOR ME. It's time for bed,
so Geppetto and Grillo both got to sleep. All of a sudden the bluest light
appears...it's the Blue Fairy. She heard Geppetto's wish and has been
"whished"to his puppetshop. Grillo wakes up and she asks him where
Pinocchio is. The Blue Fairy brings Pinocchio to life and tells Grillo to look
after him. Later that night, and evil puppet master, Scellerato and his two
bumbling sidekicks, Manesta and Funesto enter the town square of Salerno
seeking their next location for their scheme. Realizing that Manesta and
Funesto left their puppet trunk in the last town, Scellerato decides to
buysome of Geppetto's puppets so he will be able to have his GRAND
OPERA OF PUPPETRY. The next morning, Geppetto wakes up to discover
that Pinocchio can talk. Instantly he wants him to walk and act like a real boy
but Pinocchio falls flat on his face. So Geppetto and Grillo start teaching
Pinocchio how to walk. Even though he wants to stop each time he fails, they
keep telling him "Just say to yourself...." I GOTTA TRY. All of a sudden,
there is a knock at the door. It is Scellerato. He wants to buy Pinocchio for
his Grand Opera of Puppetry but Pinochhio is not for sale. Once he leaves,
Geppetto takes Pinocchio to get him something to eat. The town square is
full of festivity. Pinocchio loves all of the excitement. I GOTTA TRY Reprise.
Fedelia meets Pinocchio and realizes that he's the wooden puppet Geppetto
was working on. While they are talking, Pinocchio follows the school children
down the street. They make fun of Pinochhio, so he tells them that his father
is a king. All of sudden, his nose starts to grown and he runs away.
Scellerato sees the little wooden puppet running down the street without
strings. If he can get the puppet, his Grand Opera of Puppetry with by MY
MASTERPIECE. Meanwhile, Grillo has followed Pinochhio. He says, "If the
Blue Fairy were here, she'd know what to do." Poof! The Blue Fairy appears,
tells Pinocchio the consequence of lying, returns his nose back to normal and
whishes off. Manesta and Funesto catch up with Pinocchio. They trick him
into performing in Scellerato's new puppet show.
As the star of the show, Pinocchio is finally STANDING ON MY OWN TWO
FEET. Manesta and Funesto try to pick up all the money that has been
thrown at Pinocchio. But he grabs some and runs from them. They catch up
with him and tell him how he can double his money. Schellerato enters
disguised as a jester followed by the town's children. They talk Pinocchio into
going with them to Asino Island where they won't have to do chores and can
eat all the sweets they want. Geppetto and Fedelia return back to the show,
exhausted from looking for Pinocchio. The townspeople tell them that they
are looking for their children too. Geppetto knows that he must find his "son",
wherever he is. Fedelia wants to go with him but Geppetto needs her to stay
there. Fedelia knows that Geppetto is the THE ONE I'M WAITING FOR.
