David Shire, Richard Maltby Jr., and John Weidman’s grand-scale 1996 musical 'Big' brought a beautifully melodic, technically spectacular adaptation of the iconic Tom Hanks cinematic masterpiece to the stage of the Shubert Theatre. The narrative tracks Josh Baskin, a frustrated twelve-year-old boy whose wish to be "big" is granted overnight by a mysterious carnival slot machine, forcing him to navigate the corporate anxieties and adult romances of a Manhattan toy company while trapped inside a thirty-year-old body. Directed by Mike Ockrent, the flagship production starred Daniel Jenkins and Crista Moore.
