Brisbane Jr. Theatre 2016 Season

Audition Monologues My Son Pinocchio

 

Blue Fairy: Thank you, Thank you very much. I’m the Blue Fairy. These adorable helpers are my fairies in training. They’re here to learn from me., so that someday they can grow up to be almost as perfect as I am.

 

Geppetto: I never said Pinocchio had to be perfect. I just want him to behave and show some interest in the family business. Have you seen a little boy running around here? He answers to Pinocchio. I’m looking for him. Pinocchio, Pinocchio, Where are you? Please come back.

 

Signora Giovanni: You’re not very good at listening are you Pinocchio? He’s fast becoming a delinquent, Signor Geppetto and if you’re not careful, he’ll end up running off to pleasure Island. Take your boy home before he causes any more trouble.

 

Pinocchio: I didn’t do it. It wasn’t me. I was just sitting here listening to you …This wind came in through the window and …uu…knocked the shelf down. (Nose Grows) What’s happening to my nose? But I’m not lying, I’m not, I’m not, I’m not!

 

Stromboli: Everyone’s a critic. How about you little boy, do you like first rate entertainment? Do you like… quite an interesting joint you’ve got there, kiddo. Are these dovetailed or bolted from the inside?  Wait a minute, children don’t have joints!

 

Buonragazzo: Maria and Bernardo! I’m glad to see you. And you’ve brought a friend. Come to help with the decision eh? Fantastico! I make children, not just any children. Perfect children. We used to have them the old fashioned way, but it was too unpredictable.

 

Horse: A little boy? It’s hard to say! A lot of boys pass through here on their way to Pleasure Island. Runaways always end up on Pleasure Island.

 

Fox Mother: We’re so proud of her. She won the all-country milking contest last year. Do you have any children? Then you’ll sort of understand this. If you let your children decide what they want to be, they might choose to be anything!

 

Malvolio: Isn’t this a great place. No school, no bedtimes and all the candy you can eat. Parents aren’t allowed on pleasure Island. There’s a parent in here. Go home! You don’t belong here!

 

Audition Song:

When you wish upon a star

makes no difference who you are

anything your heart desires will come to you.

If your heart is in your dream

No request is too extreme

when you wish upon a star your dreams come true.
