Pinocchio by ACO (PHIVE)
2026-07-25 | PHIVE, 5 Parramatta Square, Parramatta, NSW, 2150, Australia
Experience the timeless tale of Pinocchio in a brand-new ACO Families Production brought to life with live music.

There is a boy who was made. And though his papa (who is also his sculptor) sees him as more than enough, he sees himself as less. Because he isn’t a real live boy. But he does have a gift. In a world of half-truths and fake news, his nose… knows.
So when he sets off into the world, Pinocchio finds that he can smell a rat. And also ride in a whale. And act like an ass (when he gets turned into one). And outwit a cat and outfox a fox. And befriend a cricket. And nurse a fairy back to health. And eventually save his dad Geppetto.
And in doing all these things, he proves himself real and gets out alive. He becomes a real live boy … or does he?
Let your imagination take flight in our brand-new ACO Families production Pinocchio. With an original score played live on stage, this reimagined tale is filled to the brim with joy, wonder and just a touch of real magic.
