Legacy Theatre in Tyrone presents the Atlanta premiere of Rocket Boys, a new musical based on the best-selling New York Times memoir by NASA engineer Homer Hickam Jr., also the basis for the 1999 feature film October Sky, featuring a much younger Jake Gyllenhaal as Hickam. Rocket Boys is a coming-of-age story about a coal miner’s son at the dawn of the 1960s. Homer, inspired by the first Sputnik launch, takes up rocketry in a story about a mother’s love, a father’s fears and a group of young men who made their dreams come true.
