Performing Arts Fort Worth has announced that tickets for LIFE OF PI, the Tony Award-winning theatrical experience, go on sale Friday, June 20 at 10am. After making its North Texas debut at Dallas’ Winspear Opera House August 5-17, this visually stunning play based on the best-selling novel comes to Bass Hall in a limited engagement September 23-28 as part of the 2025-2026 Broadway at the Bass Season presented by PNC Bank.
Told with jaw-dropping visuals, world class puppetry and exquisite stagecraft, LIFE OF PI creates a visually stunning journey that will leave you filled with awe and joy. Martel’s extraordinary story of family, resilience and survival and the natural world combined with Chakrabarti’s brilliantly staged story speaks to every generation.
After a cargo ship sinks in the middle of the vast Pacific Ocean, a sixteen-year-old boy name Pi is stranded on a lifeboat with four other survivors – a hyena, a zebra, an orangutan, and a 450-pound Royal Bengal tiger.
Critics rave that LIFE OF PI “gives new life to Broadway” (The Today Show) and is “one of the most visually stunning shows I have ever seen.” (Time Out) The global phenomenon was lauded as “an exhilarating evening of theater” (The Wall Street Journal), “a wonder to behold” (Entertainment Weekly) and “the single greatest innovation in puppetry ever to hit the global stage.” (NY Daily News)
