Bestselling Novel Set For Musical Treatment In Boston This December

Pulitzer Prize finalist Sarah Ruhl teams up with Grammy Award winners A Great Big World for this musical adaptation of the bestselling novel, coming to Boston's Loeb Drama Center this December! Telling the inspirational story of a boy with facial disfigurement entering the school system for the first time, Wonder is a much-needed tale of hope and connection.

What Is The Story?

August is only 10, but his life is already far from simple. Living with Treacher Collins syndrome, which has caused facial disfigurement, his parents have kept him out of school to try and protect him. But now it's time for August to meet the world head on - he's starting at a local private school. Thrown into the deep end of new experiences, August finds adversity, cruelty and misunderstanding from the kids around him - but also friendship, empathy, and a strength he never knew he had.
