Broadway Licensing Secures Hit Musical, Water for Elephants

The Broadway production, which debuted to rave reviews, continues to delight audiences with its imaginative storytelling. The New York Times praised Water for Elephants as a "spectacle of wonder," hailing the production as a "miracle," and naming it a Critic's Pick for its seamless artistry, setting it up to become a favorite for professional theatre companies, community theatres, and schools around the world.

"The New York Times described Water for Elephants as 'gorgeously imaginative' and full of 'many wonders awaiting audiences'," says Ted Chapin, Chief Executive Officer of BLG. "So, it is with some pride and excitement that we, at Broadway Licensing, announce the signing of the show into our ever-expanding catalogue."

Broadway Licensing currently represents musical titles by the authors of Water for Elephants, including The Old Man and The Old Moon, The Nightmare Story, and The Mountain Song, composed by PigPen Theatre Co, and The Cher Show with a book by Rick Elice.

As the newest title in Broadway Licensing's distinguished lineup, Water for Elephants joins the ranks of other celebrated musicals such as A Night with Janis Joplin, Hedwig and the Angry Inch , Ride the Cyclone, and Diary of a Wimpy Kid.

"We're eager to see how directors and designers create their own vision of the Benzini Brothers traveling circus," Chapin concludes. "Water for Elephants is a perfect addition to Broadway Licensing's diverse collection of musicals."

Further announcements will be made when Water for Elephants becomes available for licensing. Those interested in producing the show can sign up for availability updates at: broadwaylicensing.com.
