Perfect for fans of Wicked and anyone who has ever dared to dream big, The Chance to Fly is a testament to the magic of believing in yourself and the importance of representation in the arts.
The Chance to Fly by Tony Award-winning actress Ali Stroker and Stacy Davidowitz is an inspiring middle grade novel about Nat Beacon, a theater-loving girl who uses a wheelchair. Nat's passion for musicals knows no bounds, and she dreams of performing on stage despite never having seen an actor with a disability in a leading role.
When Nat's family moves from California to New Jersey, she discovers auditions for a kids' production of her all-time favorite musical, Wicked.
Thrilled by the opportunity, Nat lands a spot in the ensemble. As she navigates new friendships and the challenges of rehearsals, Nat draws strength from the empowering themes of Wicked, particularly the song "Defying Gravity."
But as opening night approaches, unexpected obstacles arise. Nat must confront her fears and insecurities, channeling the spirit of Elphaba to truly "defy gravity" both on and off the stage.
This heartfelt story celebrates resilience, inclusion, and the transformative power of theater.
