Life of Pi at Keller Auditorium

The majority of folks know the story of Life of Pi through the film. Director Ang Lee and his team did an incredible job adapting the source material, which comes from the book by Yann Martel. Martel actually helped with the playwright for Life of Pi the Musical along with seasoned theater writer Lolita Chakrabarti. This is important because it means the play captures the soul of the story, even in this new format. There are two ideas that generate the tension throughout the show. It's mainly about Pi's quest for actual survival, while trying not to lose his mind in the process. This allows the story to move from his reality to his imagination. The narrative is so complex, and yet it doesn't scare people away because until you're completely emerged in the plot, you realize how tricky it is.

This musical is relatively recent; the first-ever official performance was in 2019. Since then, it has filled theaters throughout the UK, while also having an extensive stay in London's West End before heading to Broadway. It's picked up accolades from fans and esteemed theater award shows along the way. Life of Pi is headed to the Keller Auditorium in Portland, Oregon in an effort to get more people to experience the story. Since it's not a production that's been on display for years on end, there's a good chance that you've never been at a theater to see it. If you come out on this Tuesday 8th April 2025, you're going to be in for quite a few surprises. It's not only a show that pushes you to reflect on what you'll see on stage. The puppet design is like nothing Broadway had ever seen before. Another major part of the show is the lighting and the stage setup; everything works in harmony to showcase a memorable story.

Since both the actors and the stage itself are essential to the plot of the story, finding the right spot to take it all in is key to the whole experience. Being too close to the action on this Tuesday night may backfire on you. Looking into elevated seats or places a bit further back could be the best idea.
