Strega Nona is the musical tale of a friendly witch who cures the ills of her tiny Italian town. The baker has bunions (“as big as an onion”), his daughter wishes for witchery, and the local single ladies are always unlucky in love. When Big Anthony sneaks a peek at Strega Nona’s magic book and uses her magical ways for selfish means, real problems begin to brew. Based on the award-winning children’s books by Tomie de Paola, this fantastical tale teaches that you can’t judge a pot by its pasta!
