From the songwriting team behind The Greatest Showman and Dear Evan Hansen comes a new musical based on Roald Dahl’s imaginative children’s book. James is sent to chop down an old peach tree by his atrocious aunts when he encounters a strange man offering magic that could change the course of his life. James soon finds himself journeying across the ocean in a giant peach alongside some unusual companions – human-sized insects with equally oversized personalities. Together they embark on a scrumptious and scary adventure, discovering along the way the true meaning of home and family. Evening performances of James and the Giant Peach will be November 9-11 and November 16-18 at 7:30 p.m., while matinee performances will be November 12th and 19th at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are $5 for students (ages 5 and up!) and $13 in advance ($16 at the door) for adults.
