The first full production of new musical 42 Balloons plays at The Lowry, Salford 18 April 18 to May 19, 2024.
Using a lawn chair and 42 helium-filled weather balloons, truck driver Larry Walters defied all the odds (and airspace regulations) to make his lifelong dream a reality and fly 16,000 feet above Los Angeles.
Featuring an '80s pop-inspired score, 42 Balloons questions how far you would go to make dreams come true. Is the sky actually the limit?
The show will star Charlie McCullagh (Bonnie & Clyde, Dr. Zhivago) and Evelyn Hoskins (Waitress, Gypsy, Spring Awakening) reprising their roles as Larry and Carol from the 2022 staged concert performances in the West End. Further casting will be announced later.
Recommended for audiences 12+.
