First Look production images have been released for the exciting new musical 42 Balloons, which has premiered at The Lowry where it runs until Sunday 19 May 2024.
2nd of July 1982. Using a lawn chair and approximately 42 helium-filled weather balloons, truck driver Larry Walters defied all the odds (and FAA airspace regulations!) to make his lifelong dream a reality and fly sixteen thousand feet above Los Angeles. No, seriously. In a chair.
42 BALLOONS is an uplifting musical inspired by the highly improbable true story of how Larry, and his partner Carol Van Deusen, convinced their friends and family to help Larry achieve his dream of flying.
Featuring an irresistible, 80s pop-inspired score, itquestions how far you would go to make your dreams come true. Is the sky actually the limit, and what happens if it doesn’t all go to plan?
