Josh Baskin is twelve-years-old and hates being little, until one night at the carnival the mysterious Zoltar machine grants his wish to be big. Now 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’s going to end up teaching the real adults a thing or two…
Originally produced on Broadway in 1996, Big has music by David Shire and lyrics by Richard Maltby Jr (Closer Than Ever, Starting Here - Starting Now). The show ran for 193 performances, but was revised for a UK tour in 1998 which played to critical acclaim and financial success.
