WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Andrew Lloyd Webber's Whistle Down the Wind comes to the states for the very first time on National Tour! An extraordinary tale about the transforming power of love and faith, Whistle Down the Wind is an uplifting musical about a young girl named Swallow who finds a mysterious stranger in her barn. When she asks his identity the first words he utters are "Jesus Christ," it's as if her prayers have been answered. While the Louisiana townspeople are determined to find this escaped felon, Swallow and her friends vow to protect him from the outside world.
London critics cheer: "An Irresistible Show!" "One of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Finest!" "The Score may be his Best!" Directed and presented by Bill Kenwright with lyrics by Jim Steinman, Whistle Down the Wind is one not to be missed!
