Gary Wilmot, Jay McGuiness and Denise Van Outen to Star in BIG at Theatre Royal Plymouth and Bord Gais Energy Theatre

The Daily Mail's Baz Bamigboye reports that Gary Wilmot, Jay McGuiness and Denise Van Outen will appear in BIG THE MUSICAL at Theatre Royal Plymouth from 5 November-12 and Bord Gais Energy Theatre from 7 December-7 January, 2017.

The show is described as:

"Josh Baskin is twelve-years-old and hates being little, until one night at the carnival the mysterious Zoltar machine grants his wish to be big. Now trapped in an adult's body and alone in New York, he innocently tries to find his way around a grown-up world where it's all work and no play. But whilst everyone around him tries to act their age, Josh just can't help being himself. Maybe he's going to end up teaching the real adults a thing or two...

Featuring an all-star cast led by The Wanted singer and Strictly Come Dancing champion Jay McGuiness, BIG is a joyous musical spectacular that will enchant audiences of all ages as it brilliantly brings to life the magic of one of the best-loved movies of all time.

BIG. The show for the big kid in all of us."
