ABOUT THE SHOW

The critically acclaimed, bestselling novel "WATER FOR ELEPHANTS" by Sara Gruen comes to “thrilling, dazzling” life (Time Out New York) in a unique, spectacle-filled new musical! 

Hailed as a Critic’s Pick, The New York Times calls "WATER FOR ELEPHANTS" “stunning, emotional, heart-filled and gorgeously imaginative.” 

In "WATER FOR ELEPHANTS" - 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. 

So, step right up to the “spellbinding entertainment” (Variety) at "WATER FOR ELEPHANTS" - “the best new musical on Broadway” (Theatermania)!
