“I wanna be big” 

big - the musical 

Book by John Weidman, Music by David Shire, Lyrics by Richard Maltby

Based on the Motion Picture “BIG” written by Gary Ross and Anne Spielberg 

Directed by Richard Israel 

"I wanna be big."  This rarely produced musical gem, based on the smash-hit 1987 movie, bursts onstage in this vibrant, tuneful and touching production by three of Broadway's modern masters. 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'd bargained for.  A witty and insightful book and a dazzling and energetic score turn this already classic motion picture fantasy into an unforgettable theatrical experience for the whole family.
