Tomie dePaola’s STREGA NONA will bring its delightful story and fresh, original score to Boston’s Colonial Theatre. Under the direction of Tracy Ward (Hunter Gatherers, Bay Area Premiere), choreography by Nicole McGann and a “pop-up book inspired” set design by Andrea Bechert; the magic of each song brings new life to the material for a young audience and to audiences that have grown up reading the legendary stories of native New England author Tomie dePaola.

STREGA NONA is part of the Broadway Across America – Boston 2009-2010 Family Series and is recommended for ages 4 – 9.

Strega Nona the Musical is the fusion of three of Tomie dePaola’s cherished books: Strega Nona, Strega Nona Her Story and Big Anthony and the Magic Ring. Thomas Olson and Roberta Carlson’s theatrical adaptation of dePaola’s Strega Nona stories was originally developed as a touring production for the renowned Children’s Theatre Company in Minneapolis during their 1986-87 Season.

This lively musical about a magical Italian grandmother and her mischievous apprentice boasts a score by Aron Accurso, an award-winning member of the famed BMI Lehman Engel Musical Theatre Workshop in New York. Throughout the creation of the musical as well as its rehearsal process, Tomie dePaola was involved in giving creative color and inspiration to the story’s evolvement.

The talented cast of 7 triple threat singer/dancer/actors includes Janine Burgener, Jim Darrell Featherstone II, Kevin Hull, Meghan Elizabeth Ihle, Jennifer Kosta, Jessica Lena Rosa, and Michael Scott Wells.
