Cy is a deaf tech developer who is brilliant at finding the words for everything, except the ones that matter most. So when his best friend Chris falls for Roxy, Cy does what comes naturally: he becomes the voice behind every message, every perfect line, every moment that makes Roxy fall harder. The only problem? Cy is falling too. In a world built on instant translation, the hardest words are still the ones you have to say for yourself. Elephant Shoes asks what you do when the most important thing you’ve ever said isn’t yours to say.
A World Premiere co-production from Two River Theater and Deaf West Theatre, Elephant Shoes is a sweeping new musical where every word is signed, spoken, and seen. A love letter to connection, longing, and the courage it takes to truly be understood.
