Apple Theater’s new musical Elephant Boy and Robot Girl has officially opened. The story, adapted from a well-known children’s picture book, guides the audience through the journey of two children with disabilities, showing their courage and strength. During the musical, a 3m-tall elephant and a giant demon overlord fight on stage, dazzling the audience.

Singing a gentle melody to choregraphed movements, the actors use their voices and bodies to convey courage and adventure.

Huang Cheng-wei
Choreographer
For this performance, we used elements of street dance and incorporated many skills from contemporary dance to make the show more animated and lively.

This musical, called Elephant Boy and Robot Girl, is adapted from a well-known children’s picture book. It tells the story of a boy, Hsiang-hsiang and girl, Shan-shan, both with disabilities. Together, they enter the spirit realm to save a kitten and become courageous warriors in the fight against evil. Heightening the visual drama, the show features a 3m-tall inflatable elephant fighting an even taller demon overlord.

Yang Shih-ping
Director
Our team includes the music director of a national ensemble, an award-winning producer who was nominated for a Golden Melody Award, as well as a department chair. In a very limited amount of time, we brought everyone together and found a way to stage this musical, because it is a very meaningful production.

The actors worked hard to bring this story to life. This original production shows that people can become anything, even when born into adversity. It inspires empathy, encouraging people to be more accepting and compassionate.
