Squawk, stamp, and splash with Inspired at the Chan’s 2nd annual Carnival of the Animals Reimagined! Camille Saint-Saëns’ beloved classic gets a whimsical update with creative new elements for each animal including stories, dance, and animation. Plus, George Gershwin’s Walking the Dog will open the show. A roaring delight for the entire family, this show is a feast for the senses!
