Based on Robert Louis Stevenson's classic novel, this new musical revolves around a boy, a dream, and an adventure that will change him forever. Making its world premiere in 2013 at Arkansas Repertory Theatre, this new production blends high stakes adventure, wild plot twists, hysterical antics, bold design concepts, and a compelling, evocative score to create a theatrical event that examines the essence of heroism and the triumph of the human spirit. Book by Carla Vitale and Brett Smock. Music and lyrics by Corinne Aquilina.

Playing the roles of Abraham Gray and Adult Jim is Leland Burnett (off-Broadway: Wonderful Town; London: Blues for Mister Charles). The loyal Dr. David Livesey will be portrayed by Clark Scott Carmichael (Broadway: Jumpers). Bringing to life Jim's loving mother, Mary Hawkins, is Victoria Huston-Elem (off-Broadway: Himself and Nora; National Tour: The Addams Family). Patrick Oliver Jones (National Tours: Evita, The Addams Family) will play the strict and capable Captain Alexander Smollett and Billy Bones. Canadian actor W.
