In a lawn chair attached to 42 weather balloons\, Larry—supported by his girlfriend and a community of unlikely heroes—ascended 16\,000 feet into the blue sky above LA\, and from the moment he landed\, their lives would never be the same. Featuring an irresistible ’80s pop-inspired score\, 42 Balloons is a funny\, moving\, and thrillingly staged new musical that asks: How far would you go for your dream… and how far would you be willing to fly?
