In the world premiere of "Wonder", a young boy with facial differences goes on a journey of self-discovery and finds his place in the world.

With music from the Grammy Award-winning duo A Great Big World, the new musical at American Repertory Theater in Cambridge is based on the best-selling book and 2017 film of the same name.

Garrett McNally, who plays Auggie, a boy with the same condition he has, told WBZ-TV, "It makes a story, a heartfelt story, truly genuine to have someone who has a disability, a facial difference, play a character who has a facial difference."
