“Water for Elephants” is noted for its innovative use of circus elements, brought to life by circus designer Shana Carroll, who also co-choreographed the piece alongside Jesse Robb. The creative team includes scenic designer Takeshi Kata, costume designer David Israel Reynoso, and lighting designer Bradley King.

Despite the Broadway curtain closing in December, “Water for Elephants” is set to embark on its first national tour. The tour is scheduled to begin in the fall of 2025, kicking off in Baltimore at the Hippodrome Theatre.
