James and the Giant Peach

Marin Theatre Company
397 Miller Ave. Mill Valley

There are getaway cars and getaway boats, but very rarely do you encounter a getaway fruit, especially one as large and as magical as the titular treat in James and the Giant Peach. Only Roald Dahl, the man who created the likes of Willie Wonka, the B.F.G. and Matilda, could dream up a tale about an orphaned boy who escapes his wicked aunts aboard an enormous enchanted peach. Follow James and his charming crew of insect friends on their hilarious trans-Atlantic flight to (you guessed it) the Big Apple. James, the wise Grasshopper and the pessimistic Earthworm will entertain the entire family with their amazing adventures in this enchanting musical from the Marin Theatre Company.
