This exciting new musical is sure to delight and inspire audiences of all ages as they enter your theatre transformed into an ark only to discover they are the animals and this is not only Noah’s adventure, it’s theirs.

A fresh take on a familiar tale, it’s the story of how one family learns to brave life’s rough waters by sticking together. Michael McLean, the renowned composer of more than 20 best-selling albums, gives us an incredibly uplifting score, ranging from pop to gospel. With songs that’ll have you dancing in the “isles,” and one of the most adventurous stories ever told, The Ark proves that, just like the waters, the depth of human emotion knows no bounds.

  • A Refreshing New Musical!… When the eight players (Noah, his wife, three sons, and their three wives) arriving singing a welcome to the animals (the audience), a very human family story unfolds. Rigid fathers, self-absorbed husbands, neglected wives, rebellious sons are all on hand. It works, because a gifted team has created a tightly-knit book, haunting lyrics, and diverting music inspired by such genres as rock, blues, honky-tonk, gospel. There are hilarious, as well as poignant, moments.
