The Vanishing Elephant

June 11, 2025 @ 11:00 am - June 14, 2025 @ 7:00 pm

Moving story of friendship, belonging and one incredible journey.

This summer, fresh from a run at London’s Southbank, comes an uplifting journey of friendship and epic adventure, spanning decades and continents.

In Bengal, a young boy named Opu dreams of becoming an elephant trainer. When he befriends Janu, a majestic Asian elephant, their bond sparks a life-changing adventure through stormy seas, fearsome challenges, and unexpected twists.

Years later, now an old man, Opu hears that world-famous magician Harry Houdini is set to make an elephant vanish on stage in New York City. Could it be Janu, his long-lost friend? Determined to find out, Opu sets out on a courageous journey into the unknown.

This moving tale of friendship, belonging, and a remarkable journey from Bengal to Broadway was named a Critic’s Pick by The New York Times, who hailed it as an “alluring spectacle.”

Theatrical magic for all ages.
