About the Show

A Journey of Hope and Promise in America

Nearly 400 years ago, a tiny ship called the Eagle Wing set sail for America, bearing the first of many thousands of Irish people to travel the treacherous seas in search of freedom and opportunity.

Now, the story of that journey of hope and promise is told…in the new musical WHERE EAGLES FLY. Set against a backdrop of momentous historical events, it is a story of exile, struggle, courage and triumph—a story all of us share.

Composed by John Anderson, WHERE EAGLES FLY is a joyous celebration of the human spirit.

Direct from Ireland, WHERE EAGLES FLY will have its U.S. premiere in Philadelphia—the proud home of so many descendants of those brave travelers.
