Roald Dahl’s James and the Giant Peach

Roald Dahl’s James and the Giant Peach is a new musical adaptation by the award-winning team of Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (Dear Evan Hansen, The Greatest Showman, La La Land).

When James is sent by his conniving aunts to chop down their old fruit tree, he discovers a magic potion that results in a tremendous peach... and launches a journey of enormous proportions. Suddenly, James finds himself in the center of the gigantic peach, among human-sized insects with equally oversized personalities, but after it falls from the tree and rolls into the ocean, the group faces hunger, sharks and plenty of disagreements.

Thanks to James’ quick wit and creative thinking, the residents learn to live and work together as a family.
