"BIG, THE MUSICAL"
book by John Weidman, music by David Shire, lyrics by Richard Maltby, Jr.
Directed by Robert W. Prosch
December 02 - 17, 2011
The 1987 hit movie bursts onstage in this vibrant, funny and touching musical about a Whidbey Island kid who wishes to be “big” and suddenly has his wish granted!
One morning shortly before his thirteenth birthday, Josh (who plays in Little League and has just started to discover girls) wakes up a full-grown man. His mother mistakes him for an intruder and chases him out of the house. Josh makes his away to Seattle, where he becomes an “Idea Man” at a toy company and has to reconcile childish sense of wonder in adult world of office politics and romance.
“Big, the Musical” is about every adult’s longing to return to the simpler days of childhood and every child’s desire to grow up. Josh discovers there is much more to being an adult than he has bargained for -- and learns we must all grow up at our own pace, in our own time.
