Your other options are to make to rent one. If you can even find a Pinocchio Nose for Rent, it often costs more than the one for sale, and you only have it for a short time.

The musical is based on the 2001 Oscar winning DreamWorks film, Shrek and follows the storyline remarkably closely. Add in a sprinkle of theatre magic with colourful costumes and musical tunes, and there you have it, Shrek the Musical on stage.Unlike later films where he has a fairly large role, he's a minor character with only about four lines.

Shrek the Musical has a large cast, and our school adds a whole chorus and ensemble so that no one is cut from the show. Everyone is welcome! It is quite a spectacle but it also is quite a lot of costumes. The first thing you might notice when putting on the mask is that the cable pressed against your cheek. This is not only uncomfortable but it shifts the mask off-center. This was where we used our MacGyver skills, and it is the part that need attention every time you put the mask on.

In Shrek: Reekin' Havoc, he is the first boss in the level "Bad Pinocchio". He had taken Geppetto, the Fairy with Turquoise Hair, and the Gorilla Judge hostage under control of Lord Farquaad's ghost. Eventually he is broken free from the possession and becomes a real boy. Before the opening of Shrek 4-D, a teaser with various gags included a personal ad reading "Wanna go to Pleasure Island? Single wooden male seeks female who can really work my strings. You must like splinters. Try me, I'll grow on you... No lie!". Feel free to improve on this design any way you see fit. If you actually do it, feel free to share your own tips and improvements in the comments below to help the next crafty costume committee member on their Extendable Pinocchio Nose project. Pinocchio was referenced several times in the series, with his most prominent mention being in "Shrek's 2016 Presidential Endorsement." He was going up against Fairy Godmother and Prince Charming for election as president of Far Far Away. His plan could be summed up with Shrek's insult, "I'm leaning to the left! I'm leaning to the right! Who's pulling my strings?" Knights-(4) each: gray and brown tunic, gray pants, tabard, hood, gauntlet gloves, helmets, greaves

Finally, use a thin brush and some brown eyeshadow to create the wooden effect we’re looking for by drawing on long lines all along the face. The next step was done with two people. We were using all of our hands so I don't have a photo of the process. Next we grabbed the bike cable and cable housing. Using cable cutters, we snipped off one end of the silver cable, all the way at the end. Then you can slide the cable into the white housing. (NOTE: We tried to cut the cable using our pliers and it just mashed the cable. We couldn't find true cable cutters so had to go with bolt cutters. The cut end of the cable will be very sharp, and tends to whip around, so be very careful while working with it.) He appears to be good friends with Gingy, whom he has a similar voice to (although Pinocchio has a more raspy voice). Costume designer Philip Witcomb has done a spectacular job, our favourite was the Pinocchio costume. It had us doing double takes, as to how on earth they managed to make a person look like an actual puppet with wooden joints.Brandon Lee Sears (Dreamgirls, Come From Away, Motown) is a bubble of energy and brings ‘Donkey’ to life with fun, curiosity and innocence. He sees the good in Shrek and knows he isn’t as scary as he looks.This story is one of love but also friendship between Donkey and Shrek and all of the storybook characters that we’ve come to know and adore.
