“MANY WONDERS AWAIT AUDIENCES AT THE IMPERIAL THEATER.” The New York Times, Critic's Pick
The critically acclaimed bestselling novel comes to “thrilling, dazzling” life (Time Out New York) in a unique, spectacle-filled new musical with “one of the more remarkable ensembles ever seen on Broadway” (New York Daily News)! Hailed as a Critic’s Pick, The New York Times calls it “stunning, emotional and gorgeously imaginative.”
After losing what matters most, a young man jumps a moving train unsure of where the road will take him and finds a new home with the remarkable crew of a traveling circus, and a life—and love—beyond his wildest dreams. Seen through the eyes of his older self, his adventure becomes a poignant reminder that if you choose the ride, life can begin again at any age.
So, step right up to the “spellbinding entertainment” (Variety) at WATER FOR ELEPHANTS, “the best new musical on Broadway” (Theatermania).

"Silver Stars" Lyrics
JACOB: IS THIS WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO FINALLY FEEL RIGHT? THERE'S SOME HOPE IN THE WIND IT BLOWS MY WAY AGAIN
IT'S KIND BUT IT'S CONFUSING TO WANNA HOLD SOMETHING WORTH LOSING TO WANNA HOLD IT AGAIN KNOWING THAT IT WILL END KNOWING THE DARK OF THE NIGHT'S WHAT MAKES THE STARS SO BRIGHT THEY SEEM STEADY AND UNMOVING BUT I KNOW, THEY'RE SPINNING AWAY TOWARDS THE DAY AND I HEAR THEM SING
LADADADADADA LADADADADADEE DADADA
BUT WHO AM I TO SAY OUT LOUD THAT I FEEL THIS WAY KEEP IT QUIET INSIDE IT'LL FADE AWAY LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE IN THIS LIFE, THIS LIFE JUST KEEP YOUR LIPS TIGHT
SO WHEN YOU SEE THE STARS IN HER EYES TREAT 'EM LIKE A BIG SURPRISE EVEN THOUGH IN YOUR MIND YOU'VE GOT 'EM ALL MEMORIZED
THEY CAN STEAL YOUR HOUSE THEY CAN STEAL YOUR LAND YOU CAN BEG AND PLEAD, THEY'LL STILL LEAVE YOU FOR DEAD BUT YOU KNOW YOU'RE ALIVE CAUSE SHE STOLE YOUR BREATH AND YOU WISH SHE WOULD DO IT AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN
SILVER STARS IN THE SKY, SILVER STARS IN THE SKY SILVER STARS IN THE SKY, THEY CAN'T STEAL THEM AS HARD AS THEY TRY...
