20 years ago today, on May 22, 2006, "Water for Elephants" was first published. The historical fiction novel by Sara Gruen was an instant New York Times Bestseller and was later turned into a movie staring Reese Witherspoon and Robert Patterson.

After two decades, the story continues to resonate with audiences in a new way as a musical featuring a book by three-time Tony Award® nominee Rick Elice adapted from the original novel and a soaring score by the acclaimed PigPen Theatre Co.

Don't miss "Water for Elephants" at Overture Tue, June 16-Sun, June 21!
