Meet Jack Godfrey, the creator of 42 BALLOONS đ
Inspired by an unbelievable true story, 42 Balloons is a soaringly original musical from the award-winning producers of SIX. On July 2, 1982, truck driver Larry Walters defied the odds (and FAA airspace regulations) to achieve his lifelong dream of flying. In a lawn chair attached to 42 weather balloons, Larryâsupported by his girlfriend and a community of unlikely heroesâascended 16,000 feet into the blue sky above LAâŚand from the moment he landed, their lives would never be the same. Featuring an irresistible '80s pop-inspired score, 42 Balloons is a funny, moving, and thrillingly staged new musical that asks: How far would you go for your dream⌠and how far would you be willing to fly?
