Sun Mar 22          "Water for Elephants"   Playhouse Square   Matinee performance    $166 per person

Dinner is at Republic in the Playhouse Square Complex

The critically acclaimed bestselling novel comes to "thrilling, dazzling" life in a unique, spectacle-filled new musical!  Hailed as a Critic's Pick, The New York Times calls it "stunning, emotional, heart-filled and gorgeously imaginative."

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.


So, step right up to the "spellbinding entertainment" (Variety) at Water for Elephants, "the best new musical on Broadway" (Theatromania)
