Water For Elephants National Tour Critic Reviews

"Those relatively minor issues didn't prevent my cheeks from getting just as moist during Water for Elephant's elegiac coda as they were when I first watched it on the Great White Way. Jump through whatever hoops you have to to catch this soul-soothing circus before it runs away without you." - Orlando Weekly, Orlando

"Breathing extraordinary life into the show is the highly talented ensemble of acrobats, contortionists, and aerialists. The exceptional physicality of the entire companyespecially Nancy Luna, Yves Artires, Fran lvarez Jara, Ella Huestis, Serafina Walker, and John Neurohris worth the price of admission alone. Their jaw-dropping circus acts (designed by Shana Carroll and Antoine Boissereau) are out of this world." - Maryland Theater Guide, Washington D.C

"It turns out I was totally correct to anticipate in Water for Elephants a show with an abundance of imagination, buoyed by the flamboyant artistry and prowess of the circus. The production looks great, sounds wonderful, and moves with verve and invention. The performances are solid and the narrative is strong. It is absolutely worth seeing." - Talkin' Broadway, Minneapolis

"Water for Elephants offers a well-rounded theatrical experience that combines strong performances, impressive technical execution, and a unique approach to storytelling. It is a production that keeps the audience engaged from start to finish while delivering something visually and structurally different from the typical Broadway tour." - League of Cincinnati Theater's, Cincinnati

"The moment is sublime, poignant, exquisite theater." - DC Theater Arts, Washington

"The sheer technical brilliance of the ensemble's choreography, stunts, and puppetry, and the evocative artistry of the staging ensure that Water for Elephants is a compelling experience. ... for the visual spectacle and ingenuity of its presentation alone, this production is well worth the price of admission." - Cleverock.com, Cleveland
