Description:
An all-new stage musical
based on the Disney•Pixar Academy Award-winning

the magical ocean world with larger-than-life
puppets, plus a cast of 18 musical theater actors
and dancers.

theatrical productions.
Story: Guests will thrill to the first
Disney•Pixar film adapted into a Broadway-caliber
musical. "Finding Nemo-The Musical" tells the story
of the overly cautious father clownfish, Marlin,

swim with the sharks, take on the jellyfish and ride
the current with Crush the turtle, all in a heroic
effort to rescue everyone's favorite clownfish, Nemo.

Tony Award-winning "Avenue Q" co-composer-creator
Robert Lopez and a cappella musical "Along the Way"
co-creator Kristen Anderson-Lopez.

imaginative puppets seen in the Broadway version of
