Step Right Up to Water for Elephants' Grand Broadway Opening!

Water for Elephants, which brings together a death-defying team of actors, writers and circus performers, celebrated its official Broadway opening on March 21 at the Imperial Theatre. Directed by Tony nominee Jessica Stone, the production brings the spirit of camaraderie and chosen family to life on stage, as originally imagined by novelist Sara Gruen, who joined the festivities on 45th Street.
