Plot Luck: Water For Elephants On Broadway

Sara Gruen's 2006 best-selling novel, Water For Elephants, has been made into a new Broadway musical, which opens at The Imperial Theatre on March 21, 2024 following a few weeks of previews. Lighting designer Bradley King shares the light plots and gear list for this circus-inspired production as it combines aerial arts, puppetry and musical theater. Water For Elephants received its world premiere last summer at the Alliance Theatre in Atlanta.
