“Many wonders await audiences in this gorgeously imaginative Broadway musical.” – The New York Times The critically acclaimed bestselling novel 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 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.

Run time: 2 hours, 20 mins with 1 intermission

Recommended for ages 8 and up.  Includes smoke, haze, and gunshot sound effects. Infants not admitted. All patrons require a ticket.
