42 Balloons is a North American premiere musical inspired by the true story of Larry Walters, who made headlines with his extraordinary lawn chair flight powered by helium-filled weather balloons. Set in the 1980s, this heartwarming production features a book, music, and lyrics by Jack Godfrey, with direction by Ellie Coote. The show captures the essence of pursuing dreams and the surprising turns that can ensue, supported by an infectious pop score. It runs at the Chicago Shakespeare Theater from May 24 to June 29, 2025.
