THE KANSAS CITY PREMIERE OF THE MUSICAL COMEDY

a musical about bursting out

Opening the 2024-25 Season | sponsored by Theater League

BUBBLE BOY

Book by Cinco Paul & Ken Daurio

Music & lyrics by Cinco Paul

Based on the film BUBBLE BOY by Cinco Paul & Ken Daurio

Presented by special arrangement with Broadway Licensing Global


Jimmy Livingston was born without immunities and has spent his entire life confined inside a plastic bubble room. Enter Chloe, the girl next door, who becomes his friend and steals his heart. When she leaves town to get married, Jimmy travels cross-country in a homemade bubble suit in order to stop the wedding and finally tell her how he feels. Along the laugh-filled journey he deals with a crazy cult, a biker gang, a dead cow, and a controlling mother who will stop at nothing to get him back in the bubble.


BUBBLE BOY runs approx. 90 minutes and is performed without intermission.

BUBBLE BOY is recommended for ages 10+ due to innuendo & mild language.
