SPOKANE, Wash. — The Spokane Children’s Theater has officially opened ticket sales for its upcoming production of James and the Giant Peach, based on the beloved book by Roald Dahl.
This musical adventure follows James and a colorful cast of oversized insects as they embark on a thrilling journey across the Atlantic Ocean aboard a giant peach. The production, adapted by Timothy Allen McDonald, brings Dahl’s classic story to life with a musical score composed by Tony and Academy Award-winning duo Benji Pasek and Justin Paul.
Director Beth Taylor shared her thoughts on the story’s core message: “At its heart, this story is about resilience. James, who faces immense loss and hardship, finds unexpected friends in the very creatures he once feared. It’s a tale of resourcefulness, connection, and wonder in the face of adversity. Dahl’s deep respect for children—their imagination, resilience, and belief in magic—is what truly brings this world to life.”
The production will run from April 18 to May 4, with performances at 7 p.m. on Fridays, 2 p.m. on Saturdays, and 2 p.m. on Sundays.
Additionally, the theater is offering a special Family Value Night on Saturday, April 26, at 7 p.m., where all tickets will be priced at $12. An ASL interpreted performance will also take place on Sunday, April 27, at 2 p.m.
Tickets are available for purchase now. Don’t miss out on this unforgettable family experience!
