Strega Nona: The Musical

B and I are just now reading all of Tomie dePaola Strega Nona books. The illustrations are darling and B finds Big Anthony's cluelessness incredibly entertaining. When I learned that Strega Nona will be brought to life in a musical this Saturday, October, 30, 1pm at the The Wilbur Theatre in Boston, I thought it would be great fun for us to go. It's a family-friendly musical with the set design inspired by the Strega Nona pop-up book. We're going to have a great time. Seating is limited so get your tickets soon.

Through the mystery of magic and the mastery of skill, audiences will be spellbound as Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Presents ZING ZANG ZOOM, a thrill-filled, mind-blowing circus spectacular where family fun is no illusion.

Magical Zingmaster Alex and his assistant, Levitytia, lead audience members through an extraordinary world of fantasy that celebrates the uplifting spirit of the circus and also wards off the cynical Mr. Gravity and his team of Heavies who try to bring everyone down. Captivating illusions await Children Of All Ages, as apprentice illusionists mysteriously levitate their parents, a four-ton elephant disappears before the audience’s eyes and the mischievous Mr. Gravity transforms into a ferocious tiger.

Throughout ZING ZANG ZOOM, circus-goers’ jaws will drop when they see stunning thrill acts that demonstrate unbelievable fearlessness and bravery in performances that defy gravity and logic. Most magical of all is the incomparable array of exotic animals, which includes a herd of Asian elephants, Bengal tigers, and Arabian and Friesian horses that join forces with human performers to create an experience that reminds everyone that the magic of The Greatest Show On Earth® lives on!

The fun begins an hour before the show with Ringling Bros. Clown College at the All Access Pre-show –FREE with your ticket!
