Big, the Musical

Hillbarn Theatre

November 30-December 30, 2006

Avg. Event Rating (4.0 Stars): Add Review/Comment

The 1987 hit movie bursts onstage in this vibrant, funny and touching musical. When frustrated adolescent Josh Baskin wishes he were "big" and wakes up the next morning a 30-year-old man, he discovers there's much more to being an adult than he's bargained for – and learns we must all grow up at our own pace, in our own time. A witty, moving, insightful book by John Weidman and a dazzling, energetic, heartfelt, contemporary score by David Shire and Richard Maltby, Jr. makes this already classic motion picture fantasy an unforgettable theatrical experience. Fresh, up-to-date, relevant, and featuring one of the most irresistible leading male roles ever, Big, The Musical holds universal appeal for audiences of all ages.

    Nobody ever does this show, but I know a few people in it and I snuck in to the dress rehearsals to take a peek. It is really well done. 80's to the max. The scenery and costumes are so much fun to look at, very colorful and hi-tech feeling comes out. The cast is excellent, especially the 10 or more kids in the show who are dancing really really well and are so energetic. It sounds really digital with synthesized keyboard sounds and reminds me of a rock or an MTV kind of feel. I am not sure how different it is from the Tom Hanks movie, but what a great show and cast for this time of year. It is colorful, fun and uplifting. The dancing is really wonderful and the music is cool. I am surprised that many other companies have not done this show. FUN! Collapse
