Strega Nona the Musical

Based on the children's books by Tomie dePaola, Strega Nona The Musical is the musical tale of a friendly magical witch who strives to cure the ills of her tiny Italian town of Calabria. The baker has bunions ("as big as an onion"), his daughter pleads for potions, and the local single ladies are always unlucky in love. The town faces real problems when a local bully named Big Anthony sneaks a peek at Strega Nona's magic book and uses her magical ways for selfish means. When Anthony fools with the magic pasta pot, pasta threatens to engulf the whole town-unless Strega Nona can save the day. With an energetic score by composer Aron Accurso, this fantastical tale teaches that you can't judge a pot by its pasta! Recommended for ages 4-9.
