James and the Giant Peach - Based on the children’s book by Roald Dahl, this delightfully fantastical musical tale is sure to please audiences both young and old! Young James is sent to chop down an old fruit tree when he discovers a magic potion that yields an enormous peach! James suddenly finds himself inside this large piece of fruit, where he meets a crew of zany insects the size of humans! When the peach falls off the tree and rolls into the ocean, it is up to James and the insects to work together as a team to get to safety again. Featuring wickedly tuneful songs by the Tony Award-nominated team of Pasek and Paul, this show is sure to be a “masterpeach”!

Our 1 pm performance on October 13 will be interpreted in American Sign Language.
