This weekend Act2 Visual and Performing Arts School presents its final three performances of popular Disney story ‘Finding Nemo JR’.
A cast of 33 children, aged from 4-12 have come together to share the 60-90-minute musical adaptation of the beloved 2003 Pixar movie Finding Nemo – with the first shows on October 16 and 17.
The production features new music by award-winning songwriting team Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez.
In the story Marlin, an anxious and overprotective clownfish, lives in the Great Barrier Reef with his kid Nemo, who longs to explore the world beyond their anemone home. But when Nemo is captured and taken to Sydney, Marlin faces his fears and sets off on an epic adventure across the ocean.
With the help of lovable characters such as optimistic Dory, laid-back sea turtle Crush, and the supportive Tank Gang, Marlin and Nemo both overcome challenges on their journey to find each other and themselves.
Featuring memorable songs such as “Just Keep Swimming,” “Fish Are Friends Not Food,” and “Go With the Flow,” Finding Nemo JR. brings a vibrant underwater world to life on stage in a story full of family, friendship, and adventure.
Performances of the approximately hour-long show are on Friday, October 23, at 6pm and then Sunday, October 25 with a matinee at 1pm and an evening show 6pm.
Tickets to the show on at the Act2 Theatre on Matai Street are available through Trybooking Finding Nemo Jr Tickets, ACT2 Theatre, Taupo | TryBooking New Zealand
