Featuring a talented cast of more than 40 young actors, “Finding Nemo Jr.” brings the beloved Disney-Pixar story to life on stage with music, adventure and heart.

Audiences will join Marlin, Nemo, Dory and a colorful array of ocean friends on a journey full of laughter, courage and discovery.

Disney and Pixar’s “Finding Nemo Jr.” has captured the hearts of audiences worldwide with its unforgettable story of determination, resilience and family.

The beloved story follows the journey of Marlin, an overprotective clownfish who must travel across the ocean to rescue his missing son, Nemo. Along the way, Marlin is joined by Dory, a forgetful yet optimistic blue tang, and together they face extraordinary challenges that showcase the transformative power of courage and companionship. At its core, “Finding Nemo” is more than an ocean adventure — it is a story of overcoming obstacles and embracing what makes us different.

Cast members for "Finding Nemo Jr." include Anna Umbriaco, Brades Burton, Mary Brzoznowski and Rena Fleury.

Nemo himself was born with a smaller fin, a condition that makes swimming harder for him. Despite this, he proves to his father and to himself that he is capable of great bravery and independence.

In parallel, Dory’s struggles with short-term memory loss highlight the importance of compassion and support in facing challenges. These characters remind audiences that true strength lies not in perfection but in determination and resilience.

The story also beautifully illustrates how working together makes the impossible possible. From the helpful sea turtles riding the East Australian Current, to a tank full of fish collaborating on a daring escape, to Marlin learning to trust others and Nemo learning to trust himself, “Finding Nemo” shines as a celebration of teamwork and connection.

With its breathtaking visuals, heartfelt humor and inspiring message, “Finding Nemo Jr.” remains a timeless story that encourages audiences young and old to face adversity with courage, embrace their differences, and discover the strength found in friendship and family.
