About ‘Tuck Everlasting’

Set in the idyllic countryside of Treegap, the musical follows the extraordinary journey of Winnie Foster, a spirited young girl who stumbles upon the Tuck family and discovers their extraordinary secret – they are immortal, having drunk from a magical spring that grants eternal life. As Winnie becomes entwined in the lives of the Tucks – Jesse, Mae, Angus, and Miles – she grapples with the timeless dilemma of whether living forever is a blessing or a curse.

With a score by Chris Miller and lyrics by Nathan Tysen, “Tuck Everlasting: The Musical” brings to life the heartwarming story of friendship, family, and the preciousness of each moment.

The passage of time, the meaning of life, and the inevitability of death – are as relevant today as they were when the novel was first published in 1975. Throughout the years, the story has been adapted into various forms, captivating generations of readers, movie, and theater-goers alike with its universal message of embracing the cycle of life.
