BIG. The show for the big kid in all of us.
Based on the hit 1988 film, Big the Musical features songs by
David Shire (music) and Richard Maltby, (lyrics) with a book
by John Weidman. Direction & choreography by Morgan Young.
BIG, the heart-warming and hilarious Broadway musical based on the classic movie
starring Tom Hanks, tells the story of Josh Baskin, a twelve year old boy who hates
being little, until one night at the carnival the mysterious Zoltar machine grants his
wish to be big. Trapped in an adult’s body and alone in New York, he innocently tries
to find his way around a grown-up world where it’s all work and no play. But whilst
everyone around him tries to act their age, Josh just can't help being himself.
Maybe he can teach the real adults a thing or two…
