Galaxy Train
Galaxy Train is a musical based on the beloved Japanese 1927 novel ‘Night on the Galactic Railroad’, by Kenji Miyazawa. It tells the story of Giovanni and Campanella, two boys who find themselves on a mystical, mysterious train journey through the stars and into the afterlife. Together they must reconcile their friendship, discover the secrets of life after death, and appreciate the meaning of sacrifice.
