First look at puppets for new Winnie-the-Pooh off-Broadway musical

Disney’s iconic Winnie the Pooh, Christopher Robin, and their best friends Piglet, Eeyore, Kanga, Roo, Rabbit and Owl (and Tigger too!) will all arrive in a new musical stage adaptation this October and we are now getting a first look at the puppets.

The story, based in the Hundred Acre Wood, is fresh stage adaptation told with life-size puppetry through the eyes of the characters. It features the Sherman Brothers’ classic Grammy Award-winning music with additional songs by Winnie the Pooh creator A.A. Milne.

Winnie the Pooh: The New Musical Adaptation is developed and presented by Jonathan Rockefeller (whose spectacular puppetry is omnipresent in the acclaimed productions of The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show and Paddington Gets in a Jam).

Here’s a look at the puppets:

The show is being put on by Disney Theatrical Productions. Performance are taking place at Theatre Row in New York City on Oct. 21, 2021. Tickets are available here.
