Lexington, SC – Nemo, Dory, Marlin, and a talented sea of young cast members are enchanting audiences at Village Square Theatre with their rendition of “Finding Nemo Jr.” The live musical adaptation of the beloved Disney movie showcases a remarkable ensemble of 95 young performers under the age of 20, bringing joy and laughter to spectators of all ages.
Directed by Candice Pipkin, the production of “Finding Nemo Jr.” is a delightful theatrical experience, offering a condensed yet immersive musical journey for the audience. Pipkin’s vision of the play includes a vibrant mix of familiar songs and dialogues from the original film, along with fresh original content specifically crafted for the stage.
