WATER FOR ELEPHANTS is dazzling audiences with extraordinary theatrics, creative visual concepts, and emotional moments. Adapted from the New York Times bestselling novel, WATER FOR ELEPHANTS has a book written by Rick Elice, and features a score by PigPen Theatre Co.
The touring production of Water for Elephants will be at the Orpheum Theatre in Minneapolis from March 3–8, 2026, bringing its thrilling mix of circus, acrobatics, and musical theater to audiences. One of the standout performers is Sam Kellar-Long, whose role has him singing, dancing, performing aerial stunts, and even puppeteering, all in the same show.
Casting has been announced for the North American Tour of the hit Broadway musical, WATER FOR ELEPHANTS. Based on the critically acclaimed bestselling novel, this engagement will kick off the 25–26 Broadway in Wichita Series.
The North American tour of WATER FOR ELEPHANTS has announced full casting ahead of its 2026 engagement at Playhouse Square. The musical, based on Sara Gruen’s bestselling novel, features a book by Rick Elice and music and lyrics by PigPen Theatre Co.
The 2024 production earned seven Tony Award nominations, including Best Musical, which I feel is an earned acknowledgment that speaks more to the craftsmanship, the ambition, and the emotional journey present in the show. The stage production’s direction, choreography, puppetry design, and ensemble synergy create moments of theatrical awe that are impossible to deny. What the songs lack in dramatic momentum, the production more than makes up for in its combination of narrative intimacy with large-scale visual storytelling.
