BIG Comes to The Belmont Theatre Next Month

The Belmont Theatre will present BIG, The Musical on the Main Stage September 13-15 & 19-22. The classic 1987 motion picture fantasy that starred Tom Hanks bursts onto the stage in an unforgettable theatrical experience! Josh Baskin is sick of being an awkward kid. At a carnival, he makes a wish to the Zoltar machine to become “big.” To his shock, his wish is granted. After an understandably awkward beginning, Josh is forced to do “adult” things, like getting a job and a girlfriend. In the end, he discovers that there’s much more to being an adult than he bargained for and learns that we must all grow up at our own pace, in our own time. Complete with Zoltar, a giant floor piano, and high-energy singing and dancing, this TONY AWARD nominee for BEST MUSICAL has something for everyone! 

Co-directing the show is the father-son team of René & Dylan Staub. The Music Director is Rebecca Wolf and the choreographer is Sarah Logsdon. Leading the cast is the father-son team of Andrew Matseur as Older Josh Baskin and his son Nolan Matseur as Young Josh Baskin.
