In an elegant Park Avenue apartment, two house sitters and wannabe producers try to line up backers for their original musical. Titled The Big Bang, it would be the most expensive Broadway musical ever produced, with a budget of $83 million. It also requires a cast of 318, 6428 costumes and 1400 wigs. The show aims to tell the entire history of the whole world - from the formation of the planets, through the building of the pyramids, Napoleon's France right to the present day. This frenetic entertainment is long on ‘schtick’ and hilarity and music. Will Broadway ever be the same? Surely, the luxurious apartment won't!
Director and Choreographer is Steven Flaa and Musical Director is Jason Brenner. The two eager authors are played by Jason Kimble, a frequent VLT performer, and Todd Lindamood.
The theatre’s lobby bar will be open during all performances.
