ABOUT THE SHOW

A THEATRICAL EVENT UNLIKE ANYTHING ELSE!

Winner of three Tony Awards® and the Olivier Award for Best Play, the Broadway and West End sensation LIFE OF PI is “an exhilarating evening of theater” (The Wall Street Journal).

Based on Yann Martel’s best-selling novel that sold more than 15 million copies and became a worldwide phenomenon, LIFE OF PI is an epic story of perseverance and hope that speaks to every generation and “gives new life to Broadway” (The Today Show).

Told with jaw-dropping visuals, world class puppetry and exquisite stagecraft, Lolita Chakrabarti’s stage adaptation of LIFE OF PI creates a breathtaking journey that will leave you filled with awe and joy.

Taking a peek behind the stripes!

Wednesday we welcomed local students for an inside look at the magic behind Life of Pi. The cast and creative team—including Taha Mandviwala, Jon Hoche, and Richard Parker’s incredible puppeteers (Aaron Haskell, Anna Vermotchka, and Anna Le Gortner)—shared the secrets of bringing this Tony Award-winning story to life.
