| October 06, 2005 | | This is a fun creation of Pinocchio in a new fashion! |  *Click* to see more! Personally, I’m delighted to see the release of Pioneer’s newest musical, “No Strings Attached” this month. Though Pioneer already carries several different versions of Coloddi’s classic story of “Pinocchio,” this one has a freshness and boldness that makes it very special. Why do we keep going back to the old stories? They tap into something universal, and they ask really important questions, like “What does it mean to be human?” and “How can I be free to be myself, and still fit into a community?” These stories not only grow ON us, they grow IN us. I’m also glad to see Bill Francoeur and Patrick Dorn working together again. It’s been years since they collaborated on “Nutcracker.” They are both professionals in their fields, and they know what it takes to create a show that has a high level of excellence, yet is so well crafted that practically anyone can pick up the script and music CD and stage a quality production that is fun for the cast and entertaining for the audience. I’m sure you’ll agree that “No Strings Attached” stands on its own as a remarkable achievement in teen-oriented musical theater, and a major contribution to the ongoing Pinocchio legacy. And that’s no lie! | | |
