Embark on a transformative and touching journey with BALLOONACY by Barry Kornhouser. The young…and the young at heart will be treated to a story that starts very simply: A single red balloon drifts through the window to the surprise of a person spending their birthday alone at home. Through spectacular physical comedy in the tradition of Charlie Chaplin, we are reminded of the power of play, and laughter. 

BALLOONACY explores the universal theme of friendship, using the universal language of pantomime.

This musical murder mystery farce of mistaken identities, millions in diamonds, and a wheelchair-bound corpse, will leave you dying of laughter. Created by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty, the Tony-winning writing team behind “Ragtime,” “Once on This Island” and “Anastasia”. 

LUCKY STIFF packs an outrageous spirit into a classic Broadway musical that serves up a night of frivolity, a toe-tapping musical score, and an ensemble cast of zany characters sure to charm any audience!
