A graduate of the University of Miami School of Music, three-time Grammy® winner Bruce Hornsby has built one of the most diverse, collaborative, and adventurous careers in contemporary music.
The creatively insatiable pianist and singer-songwriter has always succeeded on his exceptional gifts, his training, and his work ethic. He became a global name in music by reimagining American roots forms as songs that moved with the atmospheric grace of jazz. Hornsby has collaborated with the Grateful Dead, Spike Lee, and Ricky Skaggs, to name a few.
He has fused the plunk and dazzle of 20th century modernist classical composition to singer-songwriter emotional inquiries. Hornsby’s songs, both in spirit and memory, function collectively as an homage to fiction writing that, while often poetic, takes no prisoners. His performance offers a glimpse of a restless spirit who continues to push forward.
“Many wonders await audiences in this gorgeously imaginative Broadway musical.” -The New York Times
The critically acclaimed bestselling novel comes to “thrilling, dazzling” life (Time Out New York) in a unique, spectacle-filled new musical! Hailed as a Critic’s Pick, The New York Times calls it “stunning, emotional, heart-filled and gorgeously imaginative.” After losing what matters most, a young man jumps a moving train unsure of where the road will take him and finds a new home with the remarkable crew of a traveling circus, and a life—and love—beyond his wildest dreams. Seen through the eyes of his older self, his adventure becomes a poignant reminder that if you choose the ride, life can begin again at any age.
The Broadway musical Water for Elephants is recommended for audiences ages 8 and up, though parents should use their judgment. The movie is considered more suitable for adults and
older teenagers.

Pigs Do Fly Productions will present Better Late, Larry Gelbart’s (M.A.S.H.) ‘breezy entertainment on serious themes’ (Variety) at Empire Stage in Fort Lauderdale from November 7 - 30. Shows at 8pm, and 5pm on Saturdays and Sundays.
A bitingly funny December-December-December romantic triangle, "Better Late" focuses on former actress Nora, her not-always-faithful husband of 25 years, Lee, and her ex-husband Julian, who needs a place to stay while recovering from a recent illness.
Once Julian moves in, the question becomes: how long will Julian have to remain with them? Gelbart’s clever script is filled with one-liners and sharp repartee, yet “explores love, divorce, aging and death with a mature sensibility and in a decidedly comedic tone.” (Variety)
