"But audiences may be surprised by the tender beating heart of the show and how directly it speaks to our humanity. The show's message is simple but so relevant in this present moment: in the face of catastrophe and chaos, will we let our fear divide us or will we band together and courageously choose hope? Audiences of all ages will find something that tickles their funny bone and warms their heart on this epic journey."
