Big, the Musical
Book by John Weidman

Based on the Twentieth Century Fox film 'Big,' written by Gary Ross and Anne Spielberg

PERFORMANCES

July 11-27
Fri & Sat @ 7:30pm, Sun @ 3pm

The classic 1987 motion picture bursts onto the stage. When frustrated adolescent Josh Baskin wishes he were "big," he wakes up the next day a 30-yr-old man. He soon discovers that we all must grow up at our own pace in this contemporary coming of age story. Winner of multiple Tony Awards and ten Drama Desk Awards. This is a great contemporary coming of age story for everyone, no matter how big or small.
