Since opening this holiday musical in early December, Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati has taken audiences around the globe nearly 30 times. There are just seven more outings before Phileas Fogg and Passepartout pull back into London one last time on Sunday at 2 p.m.
Jules Verne’s story about the precise 1899 adventurer, who wagers his fortune on completing an unimaginable trip in less than three months, has become a delightful musical for kids and adults. Lots of local talent and an ingenious set make the show a treat to wrap up the holidays.
2 p.m. Wednesday and Sunday; 7 p.m. Thursday; 2 and 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Through Jan. 5. $16-$43; use coupon code WORLD14 to get $14 off. Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati, 1127 Vine St., Over-the-Rhine, 513-421-3555, ensemblecincinnati.org.
