MUST END JULY 23!

Nominated for FIVE Tony Awards, including Best Direction of a Play and winner of four Drama Desk Awards! After scooping a multitude of Olivier Awards for its debut run in London's West End this stunning stage adaptation of Yann Martel's metaphysical novel makes its Broadway bow! With the entire original creative team in tow, including breathtaking puppetry by Nick Barnes and Finn Caldwell. Don't miss this acclaimed new work!

The West End cast is set to reprise their roles again in this epic and innovative piece of theatre which boasts breathtaking puppetry by Nick Barnes and Finn Caldwell, scenic and costume design from Tim Hatley, video by Andrzej Goulding, sound from Carolyn Downing, and direction from Max Webster. This extraordinary story of one 16-year-old's fight for survival following a shipwreck is perfectly rendered using vibrant color, music and visual wizardry in this consummate production.

What is the story?

As transformative as it is captivating, Martel's Life of Pi is a magical masterpiece that introduces us to Pi, a 16-year-old boy adrift in a lifeboat with four fellow survivors - a hyena, a zebra, an orangutan, and a terrifying Bengal Tiger. As they navigate the unpredictable waters of the Pacific Ocean, Pi's boundless imagination soon becomes his greatest asset.
