Charlie McCullagh and Evelyn Hoskins will star in the show as Larry and Carol respectively alongside Gillian Hardie as Carol’s Mom and Lejaun Sheppard as Ron.
Using a lawn chair and approximately 42 helium-filled weather balloons, truck driver Larry Walters defied all the odds (and FAA airspace regulations!) to make his lifelong dream a reality and fly sixteen thousand feet above Los Angeles.
42 Balloons is an uplifting musical inspired by the highly improbable true story of how Larry, and his partner Carol Van Deusen, convinced their friends and family to help Larry achieve his lifelong dream – to fly.
The production is being produced by Andy and Wendy Barnes from Global Musicals, whose previous work includes Six and The Choir of Man, collaborating with Kevin McCollum from Alchemation.
