Norden is a rhino who grew up in an African elephant orphanage. After surviving countless hardships, Norden finds himself in an unexpected situation, taking on a baby penguin hatched from a discarded egg.

Although they are completely different, Norden and the penguin set off on a journey to the sea, yet crossing endless desert to reach there is not easy.

As they spend their long nights together, Norden shares the stories of the dark nights that filled his life, and the brilliant moments despite them all. 

Adapted from the bestselling novel with over 700,000 copies sold, the musical The Longest Nights utilizes an innovative LED floor, highly imaginative stage props, and 15 deeply touching musical numbers to perfectly present the characters' thrilling yet moving journey toward the sea. 

This is not only a story about animals, but also a spiritual sanctuary where every audience member can find reflections of themselves. Step into the theatre, feel the sincerest companionship, and let us spend the longest nights together with you.
