“A bittersweet take on growing up. Big - The Musical is a much better show than its short 1996 run might suggest. An engaging, intimately scaled staging from West Coast Ensemble captures its essential charms.”
L.A.Times
“GO! Director Richard Israel and his fine cast have a first-rate revival of this 1996 Broadway musical based on the film that made Tom Hanks a star. And if you’ve seen the movie and think you know the story, think again.”
L.A.Weekly
“Tuneful and catchy”
