See the Water for Elephants Broadway Musical at the Aronoff Center for the Arts from April 21 to May 3.

The critically acclaimed bestselling novel comes to life in a unique, spectacle-filled new musical!

After losing what matters most, a young man jumps a moving train, unsure of where the road will take him, and finds a new home with the remarkable crew of a traveling circus and a life—and love—beyond his wildest dreams. Seen through the eyes of his older self, his adventure becomes a poignant reminder that if you choose the ride, life can begin again at any age.
