Finding Nemo
Finding Nemo is a family musical adaptation of the beloved 2003 Disney/Pixar film. When young Nemo is carried far from home, his cautious father, Marlin, leaves the safety of the reef and crosses the ocean to find him. Along the way, Marlin meets an array of memorable sea creatures, discovers courage and friendship, and learns that loving Nemo also means allowing him to become independent.
Featuring music from Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, the award-winning songwriters behind Frozen and Coco, the production explores the wonder and uncertainty of growing up, the bravery required to enter the unknown, and the challenge of trusting the people we love.
