An intimate chamber musical with a sweeping score, Onward & Upward explores the desperate lengths to which one man will go to realize his dream.
In 1982, Walter Griffin made national headlines after flying 16,000 feet in the sky with a lawnchair and a cluster of weather balloons. 17 years later, his wife and son have kept him tethered to the practicalities of daily life—until a surreal visit from his idol, wirewalker Philippe Petit, blurs the line between reality and fantasy.
