Water For Elephants brings the critically acclaimed bestselling novel to “thrilling, dazzling” life (Time Out New York) in this unique, spectacle-filled new musical! Hailed as a Critic’s Pick, The New York Times calls it “stunning, emotional, heart-filled and gorgeously imaginative.”
After losing what matters most, a young man jumps a moving train unsure of where the road will take him and finds a new home with the remarkable crew of a traveling circus, and a life—and love—beyond his wildest dreams. Seen through the eyes of his older self, his adventure becomes a poignant reminder that if you choose the ride, life can begin again at any age.
This unique and authentic musical experience is fueled by the collective artistry of world-class acrobats, innovative puppeteers and the very best of Broadway talent. Water For Elephants is a big production where you will see all the magic right in front of your eyes as circus tents are raised onstage, and the troupe travels across the country from town to town by train.
Variety call it, “A dynamic tale! It elevates the musical to new and literal heights.”
Tony Award® -nominated director Jessica Stone’s “huge, heart-filling" production (The New York Times) features a book by three-time Tony Award® -nominee Rick Elice adapted from Sara Gruen’s novel, and a soaring score by the acclaimed PigPen Theatre Co.
The score blends contemporary musical theater sound with flavors of folk, indie, pop, bluegrass and jazz. PigPen Theatre Co.’s signature folk group sound and enchanting melodies and harmonies transform into a soaring Broadway score with a contemporary twist.
