Get lost in worlds of music and magic, perfect for the whole family.
Flying Elephant Theatre creates original musicals that awaken the imagination and speak to the soul. We tell stories that meet children and families where they are, gently exploring the big questions that live in small hearts. Our work is filled with wonder, but rooted in truth, always inviting audiences to feel deeply and return home with something new.
Founded in 2020 by writer and composer Benji Riggs, Flying Elephant Theatre is devoted to creating theatre that inspires, comforts, and connects. Each production is shaped by music, story, and care, offering children a space to laugh, reflect, and feel seen. Whether through starlit journeys, magical creatures, or curious experiments, we believe in stories that help people feel a little less alone.
We do not make shows for spectacle. We make them to stir something lasting. Our musicals honour the imagination of children and the quiet strength of families, drawing audiences together in a shared moment of joy, healing, and hope.
Audiences have described our shows as magical, moving, and unforgettable. Children leave humming the songs for days. Parents speak of moments that brought them to tears. Some tell us our stories helped them open conversations about grief for the first time. Others say the experience brought their family closer together.
From school halls to city theatres, from whispered laughter to spontaneous applause, our work continues to touch lives in ways we never take for granted.
We invite you to explore the worlds we are building, and the ones still to come.
