James and the Giant Peach
Words and music by Benj Pasek & Justin Paul
Book by Timothy Allen McDonald • Based on the book by Roald Dahl
Directed by Dawne Meeks
This family-favorite story is now a beloved musical by the same composing team (Pasek and Paul) as the recent Hugh Jackman hit “The Greatest Showman.” When James is sent by his conniving aunts to chop down their old fruit tree, he discovers a magic potion which results in a tremendous peach. Suddenly, James finds himself in the center of the gigantic peach on a journey with human-sized insects with equally oversized personalities.
