What's Tuck Everlasting Like?
Tuck Everlasting is a new musical based off of Natalie Babbitt’s best-selling novel of the same name written in 1975. The book has sold over two million copies, demonstrating that this classic children’s story has a far-reaching impact, and the musical with full scale choreography and theatrical magic brings the timeless tale to life.

Is Tuck Everlasting Good for Kids?
Yes, the show is appropriate for children for children ages 10 and up. Children under the age of 4 are not permitted in the theatre.
