Finding Nemo - the Musical

Fodor's Review:

This is a fish tale of magnificent scale; a show so creative and fun that some audience members enthused upon the show's debut that it was, alone, worth the price of park admission. Using as a foundation the sweet story of the animated film, Finding Nemo, Disney Imagineers collaborated with several Broadway talents to produce this richly staged musical brimming with special effects and elaborate, larger-than-life puppets acted by gifted performers, dancers, and acrobats. It's all choreographed to bring you into Nemo's big blue world. The basic story remains the same as in the movie -- Nemo and his father Marlin go on separate journeys that ultimately teach them how to understand each other. Zany Dory, with her hilarious memory lapses, cool Crush the sea turtle dude, tap dancing sharks, and other characters give memorable supporting-role turns. Original songs by Tony Award-winning Avenue Q co-composer-creator Robert Lopez and a cappella musical Along the Way co-creator Kristen Anderson-Lopez add new depth and energy to the story. Michael Curry, who co-designed the character puppets of Broadway's The Lion King, created the musical's eye-popping puppetry; Peter Brosius, artistic director of The Children's Theatre Company of Minneapolis and winner of a regional theater Tony Award, directed the show. Expect multigenerational humor and Broadway- and pop-inspired tunes.
