Overview
Josh Baskin is twelve and life sucks, until one night at a carnival his wish to be big is granted. Now, trapped in an adult body in a grown-up world, he’s asking: is being big all it’s cracked up to be? Don’t miss the hilarious, heartwarming big-hearted musical as it lights up London’s Dominion Theatre.
Critic reviews
Despite a couple of decent performances, this adaptation of the 1988 Tom Hanks film is a big let down
Ig contains much to like although it would probably be easier to discover its considerable charms in a more intimate venue than the massive Dominion
Blast from the past that’s all fun and games
But if you're looking to see some of your favourite scenes played out (you know the one...) alongside colourful choreography and some catchy music, then you're in for a good time
Undoubtedly an immensely enjoyable crowd-pleaser, which is both heart-warming and endearing
Kimberley Walsh is saving grace in cynical, tone-deaf take on 80s Tom Hanks film
Onetime Broadway flop has more charm in London but still needs work
A surprising delight
Half pastiche of basically every musical you’ve ever seen and half live shadow-cast of the movie
A slightly unsettling, morale-boosting goofball delight
Kimberley Walsh is a knockout in zestful production with an uncynical spirit
80s movie hits wrong notes today
Grimly competent but mostly charmless musical adaptation of the 1988 Tom Hanks bodyswap comedy
