​
Adventure is about to get JUICY!
Dive into the whimsical world of James and the Giant Peach JR., a delightfully imaginative musical based on Roald Dahl’s beloved story.
When young James escapes his dreadful aunts, he discovers a magical peach that grows to an enormous size, and soon finds himself sailing across the ocean inside it! Along the way, he befriends a quirky crew of larger-than-life insect companions, each with their own personality, heart, and song to share. Together, they face wild adventures, unexpected challenges, and discover the true meaning of friendship and courage.
With endless opportunities for imaginative staging, playful movement, and bold character work, James and the Giant Peach JR. is a dream show for young performers. From hilarious villains to lovable insects, every role is packed with personality and fun.
Featuring a bright, energetic score and a story full of heart, this “masterpeach” of a musical celebrates bravery, belonging, and the magic of found family.
Big adventure. Big imagination. Big peach energy.
