Water for Elephants will be performed next year as part of Broadway in Wichita. The bestselling novel comes to life in a spectacular new musical filled with emotion, wonder, and imagination. Performances run January 12 - 14, 2026.
After losing what matters most, a young man jumps aboard a moving train, unsure where the road will lead. He soon finds himself part of a traveling circus, discovering a new home, unexpected love, and a second chance at life. Told through the eyes of his older self, his journey becomes a moving reminder that life can begin again at any age.
Directed by Tony Award nominee Jessica Stone, this production features a book by three-time Tony nominee Rick Elice, adapted from Sara Gruen’s beloved novel, with an original score by the acclaimed PigPen Theatre Co.
