Giant Leap: Our Newest Story is Taking Shape

Dear Friends,

We’re so excited to share a little magic with you.

This July, The Flying Elephant Company is beginning the very first steps of a brand-new story — Giant Leap, a space-fantasy musical about courage, belonging, and finding strength when fear feels overwhelming.

Giant Leap tells the story of Annabella, a young girl weighed down by anxiety and the feeling that she doesn’t belong. Hidden away in a joyless village and struggling to find her place, Annabella’s world changes forever when she meets Jupiter, a mystical dragon who invites her on a journey across the stars to find his lost son.

As she travels beyond the familiar, Annabella discovers that true courage isn’t about being fearless — it’s about moving forward even when you are. And, perhaps most importantly, that she is enough, just as she is.

This July, we’ll be presenting a special development season of Giant Leap, where young audiences will help breathe life into this brand-new story. It’s a rare and beautiful part of the creative process, and while this season is mainly for OSHC and school groups, we are thrilled simply to be sharing this milestone with you, our wider Flying Elephant family.

"It’s showing everyone that you’ve always got one person in your life to give you confidence."— Bailee, Year 1 student, age 6

Bailee’s beautiful words remind us why we do what we do: to inspire hope, bravery, and imagination in young hearts.

If you’d like a glimpse into the world of Giant Leap, we invite you to listen to some of the music here.

Thank you, as always, for walking alongside us. We can’t wait to take this next leap with you.

Warmly,

Benji Riggs

The Flying Elephant Company
