After its run in New York City, Jonathan Rockefeller’s Disney’s Winnie the Pooh: The New Musical Stage Adaptation will arrive in Chicago on March 15 and will run through June 12 at the Mercury Theatre Chicago, 3745 N. Southport Ave..
The production is inspired by the beloved books by A. A. Milne and the classic Disney featurettes.
In a new story from the Hundred Acre Wood, this stage adaptation is told with life-size puppetry, telling new stories featuring characters that have played iconic roles in the lives of children for generations. Accompanying the magical, modern narrative is an original score from Nate Edmondson. Among the songs are A.A. Milne’s “The More It Snows” (featuring music by Carly Simon) and “Sing Ho,” a new arrangement.
Tickets are now available at http://www.WinnieThePoohShow.com.
