This performance will be taking place in the Andrew Jackson Hall at TPAC. Our group has been granted a student group discounted rate for this performance. Ticket cost is $33 per ticket. Seats are located in the middle/rear Tier rows K-M. This student group pricing discount will save you money versus purchasing individually through the box office.

The critically acclaimed bestselling novel comes to “thrilling, dazzling” life (Time Out New York) in a unique, spectacle-filled new musical! Hailed as a Critic’s Pick, The New York Times calls it “stunning, emotional, heart-filled and gorgeously imaginative.”

Seen through the eyes of his older self, his adventure becomes a poignant reminder that if you choose the ride, life can begin again at any age.
