About this event

Our ★★★★★ ‘gorgeously enchanting’ ( Sunday Mirror ) and ★★★★★ ‘truly magical’ ( Broadway World ) new musical Pinocchio returns to London’s Globe Theatre in winter 2026 . Dreaming of a life beyond his traditional town, restless maverick Geppetto makes a magical wooden puppet called Pinocchio. Together they set out to find family and discover the wonder of being human. Bring everyone together for ‘one of the best family shows around’ ★★★★ ( The Telegraph ) – or treat yourself to ‘a great night out’ ★★★★ ( The Reviews Hub). Full of fabulous live music and packed with ‘blissful silliness… and boisterous humour’ ★★★★ ( The Guardian ), this is ‘a wonderful festive treat’ ★★★★ ( Independent ) for everybody age 5 and up. Do not miss this ★★★★★ ‘beautiful new musical’ ( WhatsOnStage ), written by Charlie Josephine ( I, Joan , Globe; Cowbois , Royal Court) and Jim Fortune ( Mr Gum and the Dancing Bear , National), directed by Globe Associate Artistic Director Sean Holmes . ‘What’s love? Well that’s a big thing to explain.’
