Water For Elephants – The Musical at Imperial Theatre

Theatre models for us a kind of public discourse that lies at the heart of democratic life, and develops our skills for listening to different sides of a conversation or argument, and empathizing with the struggles of our fellow human beings, whatever their views may be. When we watch a play, we learn what can happen when conflicts don't get resolved, and what happens when they do. We develop our faculty for imagining the outcomes of different choices we might make in our personal lives and our political lives. It's not surprising that, in repressive societies, theatre has often been aligned with the movement toward openness and freedom. All of these things are a part of the most breathtaking show in all of 2024, the phenomenal Water For Elephants - The Musical, which will appear at the world famous Imperial Theatre!
