About the Show

Dive into a vibrant underwater world in this joyful stage adaptation of the beloved Pixar film. When young Nemo is unexpectedly taken far from home, his cautious father Marlin must leave the safety of the reef and set out on an ocean-spanning journey. Along the way, he encounters unforgettable characters who challenge him to see the world, and himself, in new ways.

Filled with dazzling visuals and memorable music by the award-winning songwriters behind Frozen and Coco, Finding Nemo is an adventure that captures both the wonder and uncertainty of growing up. As Nemo begins to discover his own independence, Marlin must learn that love sometimes means letting go.

As part of our season celebrating the courage to begin, Finding Nemo invites audiences to reflect on what it means to take that first step into the unknown. It’s a story for children discovering their own bravery,and for the adults learning to trust them as they do.
