Disney’s Finding Nemo JR. is a 60-minute musical adaptation of the beloved 2003 Pixar movie Finding Nemo, with new music by award-winning songwriting team Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez. Marlin, an anxious and over-protective clownfish, lives in the Great Barrier Reef with his kid Nemo, who longs to explore the world beyond their anemone home. But when Nemo is captured and taken to Sydney, Marlin faces his fears and sets off on an epic adventure across the ocean. With the help of lovable characters such as optimistic Dory, laid-back sea turtle Crush, and the supportive Tank Gang, Marlin and Nemo both overcome challenges on their journey to find each other and themselves.

Featuring memorable songs such as “Just Keep Swimming,” “Fish Are Friends Not Food,” and “Go With the Flow,” Finding Nemo JR. brings a vibrant underwater world to life on stage in a story full of family, friendship, and adventure. 

Music and lyrics by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez. Book adapted by Lindsay Anderson. Music and orchestrations adapted and arranged by Myrna Conn. Based on the 2003 Disney/Pixar film Finding Nemo written by Andrew Stanton, Bob Peterson, David Reynolds and directed by Andrew Stanton. Finding Nemo JR. is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI).

Rafiki gathers the animals of the Pridelands to welcome the newborn cub of King Mufasa and Queen Sarabi. The king's jealous brother, Scar, no longer heir to the throne, skips the ceremony, upsetting Mufasa. As Simba grows into a curious young lion, Mufasa explains the circle of life and that Simba will one day be king of the Pridelands. Simba shares this news with Scar, who encourages his nephew to visit the forbidden Elephant Graveyard. Simba finds his best friend, Nala, hunting with Sarafina and the Lionesses and invites her on his adventure.

Once at the graveyard, the cubs encounter ravenous hyenas. Mufasa arrives and pummels them, then takes the cubs home. Scar emerges from the darkness to recruit the hyenas in his murderous plan to become king. Enacting his plan, Scar leaves Simba alone in the gorge and signals the hyenas to scare a herd of wildebeest. Scar alerts Mufasa, who leaps into the stampede to save his son. Mufasa rescues Simba, but Scar pushes his brother back into the gorge, where he is trampled.

Scar blames Simba for the king's death and tells him to run away and never return. As Sarabi, Nala, Rafiki, and the Lionesses mourn the loss of Mufasa and Simba, Scar assumes the throne, uniting lions and hyenas under his dark reign. Lost in the desert, Simba meets Tumon and Pumbaa, who take him to their "worry-free" jungle home.

Under Scar's reign, the Pridelands are nearly destroyed. Now grown, Nala decides to leave and seek help. To her delight, she finds Simba alive in the jungle. Nala urges him to take his rightful place as king. With newfound courage, Simba agrees to return to the Pridelands. Simba confronts his uncle, the truth of Mufasa's murder is revealed, and Scar runs away, pursued by angry hyenas. With peace restored in the Pridelands, Simba takes his place as king and the circle of life continues.
