Water for Elephants is a touring Broadway musical adaptation of Sara Gruen’s novel that dramatizes life inside a Depression‑era traveling circus. The production, with a book by Rick Elice and a score by PigPen Theatre Co., is notable for its circus staging—live music, acrobatics and aerial work, puppetry (including a signature puppet elephant)—and theatrical spectacle. It plays at the Hollywood Pantages Theatre in Los Angeles as part of its national tour.
