A Dazzling Spectacle Comes to Life
Adapted from the beloved, bestselling novel by Sara Gruen, Water for Elephants has been hailed as a visually stunning and emotionally vivid theatrical experience.

This isn't just your traditional musical. You can expect:
Breathtaking Puppetry: Watch in awe as the majestic animals of the circus are brought to life on stage through incredibly innovative and gorgeously imaginative stagecraft.
A Soaring Score: The acclaimed PigPen Theatre Co. provides an infectious, folk-infused soundtrack that perfectly captures the grit and wonder of circus life.
Incredible Acrobatics: Seamlessly blending musical theater with actual circus arts, the high-flying choreography will leave you on the edge of your seat.
The Perfect Night Out on Dickson Street
