Experience Roald Dahl’s classic story as it comes to life in David Wood’s musical adaption of this family favorite.
The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane: Hitch a ride along the miraculous journey of Edward Tulane. Accidentally thrown overboard while at sea, Edward begins a fantastical voyage in which he learns what it means to love, the pain of love lost and the courage it takes to love again. This beautiful theatrical adaptation of Kate DiCamillo’s award-winning tale is storytelling at its best.
