Queen of the Mist

Based on the astounding and outrageous true story of Anna Edson Taylor, who, in 1901 on her 63rd birthday, became the first person to survive a trip over Niagara Falls in a barrel, ‘Queen of the Mist’ is an award-winning musical with words and music by Michael John LaChiusa.

Featuring a soaring score, the show incorporates themes of celebrity and sensationalism with LaChiusa’s insightful, engaging style, to tell the story of a woman who risked death so that she could live.
