James and the Giant Peach

Get ready to dive into a thrilling journey in the larger-than-life play James and the Giant Peach based on the beloved Roald Dahl novel.

Young James Henry Trotter's resilience is tested when he is sent off to live with his mean aunts, Spiker and Sponge, after a chain of unfortunate incidents. Life is no fun there until he accidentally spills some tiny green things on a tree, and...voilà, a giant peach.

When James and his new oversized friends - Grasshopper, Centipede, Ladybug, Earthworm, and Spider - snip the stem of the peach, the quest for happiness and great adventure lands them in New York City and at the center of attention.

Witness the magic that changes James’ life and join him and his newfound friends as they travel the world in a giant peach on an extraordinary quest in search of freedom, happiness, and a better life.

Run time is 1 hour and 30 minutes.
