4th Wall Stage Company and Museum of Worcester present The Rocket Man, a musical based on Worcester’s own Dr. Robert Goddard – the man who invented Rocket Science – the inventor and researcher who through his teaching and relentless experimentation, created the first successful launch of a rocket in March of 1926. The musical follows his life and his love – Esther, who continued to fight for his well-deserved patents well after his passing. Worcester’s own Stephen Murray has turned their love story into a charming must be seen musical - a world premiere!

Performances are at the Fletcher Auditorium, Museum of Worcester, 30 Elm Street, Worcester, MA  01609

Free parking and Handicap Accessible.   

*This production was commissioned with a generous grant from the Worcester Arts Council and the Mass Cultural Council.
