About

"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.

Tony Award-nominated director Jessica Stone's "huge, heart-filling" production (The New York Times) features a book by three-time Tony nominee Rick Elice adapted from Sara Gruen's novel, and a soaring score by the acclaimed PigPen Theatre Co.

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

  • Top notch

  • Play was over an hour late, bad seats

    by Michigan Girl on 10/11/25DeVos Performance Hall - Grand RapidsRating: 3 out of 5

    We went to opening night 10-7-25. We got there early only to find out the paly had been delayed by 30 minutes, which in fact turned out to be over an hour. So, the play didn't begin until after 8:30 pm. I have always had good seats there, but a persons head was blocking almost the whole stage in front of me. The combination of late start, couldn't see left a bad taste.

    I never got to see the Broadway production of Water For Elephants The Musical, but thanks to the US Tour production of this show, I got to see it and I loved every minute of this iconic story presented in the format of a fabulous musical. Go see it if you have the chance to, you absolutely will not regret it, if I were you, I wouldn’t miss it!

  • One of the best shows I've seen

    I saw it on Broadway -- and loved it there! When the touring company opened in Baltimore, I got tickets for my entire extended family so they could see it, too. Great show. One of the best musicals I have seen. I love the story from a great book, the music, the circus acts, the set design- and more. Go see it!
