“MOBY: A Whale of a Tale does what one hopes theatre will do, transports you outside of your own lived experience through transformative storytelling.”

“the sensation of water lapping against the dock goes a long way towards convincing you you’re out at sea…the ending of the show – like the novel – is highly imaginative and makes a big splash.”
– Glenn Sumi, NOW Toronto

MOBY: A Whale of a Tale is a musical adaptation of the epic novel by Herman Melville.

Climb aboard the Pequod and join the crew as they are led around the world by the infamous Captain Ahab in her vengeful search for Moby, the white whale. Ever since Ahab’s last encounter with this whale left her with a peg-leg, she has been obsessed with finding it - so beware, for once you board the ship you must heed her every whim...

This outdoor, dockside show takes place on Pirate Life’s Ship in Toronto's Harbour and is an adventure for the whole family! 

Exploring themes of Friendship, Fate, Vengeance, Death, and Nature vs. Humanity, this high seas drama is as grand as the ocean is wide. With goofy humour, heart as deep as the sea, and rollicking sea shanties led by a live band performing on board, kids and parents alike will be jumping out of their seats to sing and dance with the sailors! Join us at the dock for this mystical World Premier.
