Wonder tickets

“We can change the way we see.” Based on the novel “Wonder” by R.J. Palacio and the Lionsgate and Mandeville film Wonder, this uplifting new musical follows the Pullman family as they navigate change, identity, and what it means to belong. Auggie Pullman has been homeschooled his entire life, often retreating to outer space in his imagination. But when his family decides it’s time for him to start going to school, Auggie must take off the space helmet he has used to hide his facial difference. As Auggie navigates a world filled with kindness and cruelty, his parents and sister go on their own journeys of transformation and discovery. Featuring a driving, pop-inspired score, Wonder celebrates empathy, resilience, and the power of choosing kindness.

Taibi Magar (Night Side Songs, Macbeth In Stride, We Live in Cairo, and others at A.R.T.) directs this world-premiere adaptation with a score by Ian Axel and Chad King, the GRAMMY Award-winning duo behind A Great Big World (“Say Something,” “This Is the New Year”), and a book by MacArthur Fellow and Pulitzer Prize finalist Sarah Ruhl (Eurydice; The Clean House; Smile, a memoir).
