From the source

The Bushnell’s Mortensen Hall, a sweeping Broadway spectacle under the big top.

Sara Gruen’s novel leaps from page to stage in a swirl of circus magic, soaring music, and a love story tangled in risk and desire.

Step into the Depression-era world of Jacob, Marlena, and the unforgettable Rosie as acrobatics and emotion share the spotlight in a show that feels both intimate and epic.
