Water for Elephants (Touring)

Water for Elephants is a touring Broadway musical adaptation of Sara Gruen’s novel that plays at the Hollywood Pantages Theatre in Los Angeles. With a book by Rick Elice and music and lyrics by PigPen Theatre Co., the production blends traditional musical storytelling with live circus disciplines—including aerial silks, acrobatic lifts, juggling—and a life‑like puppet elephant to dramatize a Depression‑era love story. Directed by Jessica Stone, the show is notable for its large-scale physical theatre, puppet artistry, and an Americana‑inflected score.
