Based on the children's books by Tomie dePaola, Strega Nona is the musical tale of a friendly, magical witch--with a funny name--who strives to cure the ills of her tiny Italian town in Calabria. The town baker has bunions ("as big as an onion"), his daughter wishes for witchery, and the local single ladies are always unlucky in love. But the town faces real problems when a local lug named Big Anthony sneaks a peek at Strega Nona's magic book and uses her magical ways for selfish means. When Big Anthony fools with the magic pasta pot and cannot figure out how to turn it off, pasta threatens to engulf the whole town, unless Strega Nona can save the day. With an energetic and tuneful score, this fantastical tale teaches that witches can be good and that you cannot judge a pot by its pasta!
