The critically acclaimed bestselling novel WATER FOR ELEPHANTS comes to vivid life on Broadway in a unique, spectacle-filled new musical. 

We are proud to partner with a national non-profit helping victims of domestic violence, to provide resources to those in need, as well as ensuring this story is told with the right fidelity. Storytelling helps us connect our own lives to those around us and to gain understanding of others’ experiences. Its ability to bring real issues to life also makes it a potentially powerful force for good, including cultural progress. Authentic storytelling requires confronting tough topics with the rawness they deserve, recognizing that what many experience in their everyday lives is far worse and more devastating than what is depicted theatrically. 

WATER FOR ELEPHANTS is grateful for its partnership with NVRDC and for the resources they provide to those living similar stories, not on stage, but in their daily lives. We hope the resources and reminders below are helpful and supportive.
