Big, The Musical

Coastal Repertory Theatre
1167 Main St Half Moon

Remember being a kid and wishing you were a grownup, wishing you were just BIG already? In the 1988 movie Big, Tom Hanks makes that wish -- and it comes true. Now, the endearing classic has been adapted for stage in Big, The Musical. Josh Baskin, a 12-year-old who grows up overnight after being granted a wish by a Zoltar machine at a carnival, must cope with his new adulthood while finding the machine so that he can wish himself back to his preteen life. Playful and sometimes profound songs are the backdrop for Josh's relationship with the two most women in his world: his mom and Susan Lawrence, the executive at the toy company where Josh lands a job. This sweet, funny and poignant tale will spirit you back to your own childhood dreams and (mis)adventures. See it at Half Moon Bay's Coastal Repertory Theatre.
