🎪✨ I ran away to the circus last night, to see the 🎪✨ I ran away to the circus last night, to see the Tony-nominated musical @w4emusical at @PlayhouseSquare!  Based on the bestselling novel, the story follows Jacob, a young man who unexpectedly finds himself joining a traveling circus during the Great Depression. What unfolds is a beautiful tale of adventure, love, and finding your place in the world under the big top.  The production is mesmerizing. The stage bursts with circus energy, featuring an incredible cast of acrobats, aerial performers, and jugglers pulling off one breathtaking stunt after another. And the puppetry? Pure magic. Even though you can see the performers guiding the animals, they somehow melt into the background, letting the imagination bring the characters to life.  It’s creative, emotional, and visually stunning from start to finish.  If you’re looking for a unique night out, this show is in Cleveland for a three-week run through March 29—and it’s definitely worth seeing! 🎟️🐘  #hosted #broadwaycleveland #bwycle #W4EMusical
