Music & Lyrics by DENVER CASADO
Book by DENVER CASADO & KERRY KAZMIEROWICZTRIMM
Based on the book The Journey of the Noble Gnarble by DANIEL ERRICO
Chasing the Sky is a contemporary new musical that celebrates the message of perseverance and overcoming obstacles, no matter how daunting they may seem.
Meet Anthony, an eight-year-old with a passion for soccer, on the verge of giving up his dream due to bullies at his soccer camp. One day Anthony reunites with his Uncle, a master storyteller, who weaves a captivating tale of a Gnarble – a tiny, brave fish with a dream to travel from the depths of the ocean to see the sky. Along the way, the Gnarble encounters a cast of sea creatures who challenge her resolve, yet cannot quell her unwavering spirit.
As the story unfolds, Anthony and his Uncle find themselves inspired by the Gnarble’s courage, drawing motivation to face their own hurdles and ultimately forging an unbreakable bond.
Chasing the Sky is an immersive experience that intertwines modern-day storytelling with the whimsical underwater world of the Gnarble, set to a breath-taking score that will leave audiences humming long after the performance is over.
This extraordinary journey reminds you that even the smallest of creatures can have the biggest impact – and that dreams are worth chasing, no matter the challenges that stand in your way.

Wojciech Kępczyński (General Manager of Roma Musical Theatre, Warsaw, Poland) –
I absolutely love Chasing the Sky—but what is more important, our audiences love it and it shows during every single performance. And the best testimony is that now, one year after the opening, we have extended the license for two more seasons. This show is a great opportunity to introduce kids to the world of theatre and a clever way of engaging them through the story itself, music and songs. Denver and Kerry’s concept works on many levels. If you are a parent and you would like to broaden your children’s horizons, develop their cognitive skills and just have good fun during the process, it is a perfect fit.
