“Water for Elephants” is Broadway’s newest musical at Imperial Theatre NYC based on the 2006 novel of the same name by Sara Gruen.

Leading the way are Grant Gustin, Isabelle McCalla, Gregg Edelman, Paul Alexander Nolan, Stan Brown, Joe De Paul, Sara Gettelfinger, Wade McCollum, and 22 others in the company… 17 of whom are making their Broadway debut, including Grant Gustin!
It’s an innovative intertwining of captivating storytelling, jaw-dropping circus acts, stunning set pieces, immersive visuals, and multiple genres of music!
