Run time: 2 hours 20 minutes including a 20 min intermission

OCTOBER 13 – 18, 2026

The critically acclaimed bestselling novel comes to “thrilling, dazzling” life (Time Out New York) 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 reminder that if you choose the ride, life can begin again at any age.
