Whistle Down The Wind

Tickets and Information

Proclaimed by the London Daily Telegraph as "Andrew Lloyd Webber's best show since The Phantom of the Opera," Whistle Down the Wind will launch its first-ever U.S. National tour September 9 through 22 at Houston's Hobby Center for the Performing Arts and then continue on to major cities across America including Seattle, Hartford and Sacramento.

Directed and produced by Bill Kenwright, the musical is based on the much-loved film and comes direct from a recording-breaking West End engagement and United Kingdom sell-out tour.

Featuring a host of award-winning songs including the Boyzone smash hit "No Matter What," Whistle Down the Wind tells the story of a young Louisiana girl who finds a mysterious stranger hiding in her barn. When she asks his identity -- the first words he utters are "Jesus Christ;" and it's as if all her prayers have been answered. While the townspeople are determined to find the escaped felon, she and her friends vow to protect him from the outside world.
