Strega Nona: The Musical

Strega Nona, based on the children's books by Tomie dePaola, is the musical tale of a friendly magical witch with a funny name who strives to cure the ills of her tiny Italian town of Calabria. The baker has bunions “as big as an onion,” his daughter wishes for witchery, and the local single ladies are always unlucky in love. The town faces real problems when a local lug named Big Anthony sneaks a peek at Strega Nona's magic book and uses Strega Nona’s magical ways for selfish means. When Anthony fools with the magic pasta pot, and can't figure out how to turn it off, pasta threatens to engulf the whole town ― unless Strega Nona can save the day. With an energetic and tuneful score, this fantastical tale teaches that witches can be good, and that and you can’t judge a pot by its pasta!
