The Mercury Theater hosts a production of “Disney’s Winnie the Pooh” that is brought to vivid life by a cast of six delightful actor/puppeteers who both operate and voice the familiar forest friends. 

“Winnie the Pooh” is, really, a metaphor for the importance of friendship between diverse and different creatures.

This is a warm-hearted, musical that not only captures the nostalgia of an authentic yesteryear, but it also shows the importance of friends helping each other.

Our top picks for things to do this weekend in Chicago include Tosca at Lyric Opera, Winnie the Poo on stage, "Good Night, Oscar."

Winnie the Pooh musical returning to New York for off-Broadway run. Disneys Winnie the Pooh: The New Musical Stage Adaptation is coming back to New York City this summer for an off-Broadway run.

Winnie will return to the Hundred Acre Theatre for a six-week summer engagement.
