ONWARD AND UPWARD
Music by CHARLIE ROMANO Lyrics by WILL WEGNER Book by WILL WEGNER and CHARLIE ROMANO based on the play Up (The Man in the Flying Chair) by Bridget Carpenter
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.
