Big The Musical in London

Starring:

Jay McGuiness

Big the Musical – Set to be a really BIG hit!

It's Big. It's bold. It's heartwarming. And, just like the movie, it's great fun. Welcome to Big the Musical, the stage version of the 1988 Tom Hanks film that delighted a generation. If you remember the piano bit, the kissing bit, the super-sad but sweet ending and the rest, you'll adore this very special show.

The movie was a massive award winner. Tom Hanks was handed a Golden Globe for Best Actor, a Funniest Actor in a Motion Picture award and a Saturn Award for Best Actor. The movie won a Saturn award for Best Writing, a Los Angeles Film Critics Award, a People's Choice for the Favourite Comedy, and an ASCAP Film and TV Music Award. But most of all it's a story loved by people of every age, from every background, in every country. This story has international appeal, and brings a smile to every face.

Look forward to a fun-filled family spectacular of a musical this autumn, inspired by the smash hit film. It makes its long-awaited and eagerly-anticipated West End premiere at the Dominion theatre from September 2019, and tickets are predicted to sell like hot cakes.

The plot? Young Josh Baskin is twelve years old and as far as he's concerned, life is rubbish. One night at the fair he spots one of those crazy fortune telling machines, the ones with the dummy of a person inside it that you put a coin in, and he makes a wish, an idle wish he doesn't think will come true. It's magic after all... and magic doesn't exist. But his wish to be big is granted and he's suddenly trapped in a thirty year old adult body, a fully paid-up member of a grown-up world he actually doesn't understand. Is being big really as great as he thought it would be?

Josh eventually gets a job with the MacMillen Toy Company in New York, and ends up testing the new toys. His fellow employee, Susan Lawrence, falls for Josh, but when the pressure of living as an adult gets too much, he becomes more and more desperate to go back to being a boy.

This is a hilarious, heart-warming and big-hearted musical show that's set to light up theatreland for an all-too-short nine weeks before it takes itself off to charm audiences at the next lucky venue. Grab tickets while you can.

Who is this show for?
This show is perfect for people aged 11 or more, just as good for big people as little ones!

The story, set, acting was absolutely brilliant. All the characters were cast perfectly, in particular Wendy Peters, Jay MGuinness and Kimberley Walsh. The songs in the show let it down as they were tuneless and unmemorable- I cannot remember one song andxwuth so many brilliant singers think the show missed a trick.

Disappointing:(

We felt the storyline was rushed through. Key elements were left out...the music and lyrics were not memorable at all. The sets were disappointing also, no wow factor. The added parts to the story line, did the original classic no favours.

The show was fine, second half better than the first half. However having paid full price for okay seats to find out if we had waited and brought tickets now they would have been half the price for better seats was pretty gutting. The show was not worth the money we paid and I won’t be rushing back to see it again.

Need more pazaz

We went on opening week, first matinee. Young josh fluffed his first lines - and all I did after that was wait with baited breath to see if he could cut the mustard. American accents are poor - would be better if they just spoke with normal accent rather than the terrible acted ones. Brilliant story - songs could be Better and stronger. Good to fill an afternoon but wouldn’t rush to see this one if you have an evening you want to see a show - probably lots of others that be better to see. Finale weak - no one got up to dance. Needs more work and acting needs to be more polished as this is the west end after all.
