Chasing the Sky is a contemporary new musical that celebrates the message of perseverance and overcoming obstacles, no matter how daunting they may seem.

Meet Anthony, an eight-year-old with a passion for soccer, on the verge of giving up his dream due to bullies at his soccer camp. One day Anthony reunites with his Uncle, a master storyteller, who weaves a captivating tale of a Gnarble – a tiny, brave fish with a dream to travel from the depths of the ocean to see the sky. Along the way, the Gnarble encounters a cast of sea creatures who challenge her resolve, yet cannot quell her unwavering spirit.

As the story unfolds, Anthony and his Uncle find themselves inspired by the Gnarble’s courage, drawing motivation to face their own hurdles and ultimately forging an unbreakable bond.

Chasing the Sky is an immersive experience that intertwines modern-day storytelling with the whimsical underwater world of the Gnarble, set to a breath-taking score that will leave audiences humming long after the performance is over.

This extraordinary journey reminds you that even the smallest of creatures can have the biggest impact – and that dreams are worth chasing, no matter the challenges that stand in your way.
