Artistic Director, Richard Hopkins stated, 'FST's summer season is filled with great moments in theatre. Beehive, The 60s Musical offers memorable hits of the 60s with high energy and fervor. Family Secrets, the longest running one-woman show in Off-Broadway history, will expose hilarious family bonds, woes and triumphs.

Written by Boyd Graham and Jed Feuer, The Big Bang is a deliriously funny musical that the New York Daily News called 'Inspired Nonsense!' It unfolds in the elegant Park Avenue apartment of Dr. Sid and Sylvia Lipbalm, a proctologist and his wife, as Jed & Boyd pitch a musical they have written, The Big Bang, to a houseful of prospective investors. With a budget of $83.5 million and a cast 318, it is the most expensive and most lavish musical ever conceived, and over the course of the evening, Jed & Boyd pull out all the stops as Florida Rep audiences sit in as the potential backers. The dynamic duo hits all the historical highlights, from building the pyramids to Napoleon's France and the Antebellum South. Jed & Boyd give investors a taste of the impending extravaganza and play all the parts along the way - from Adam and Eve to Ceaser and his Soothsayer, Mrs. Ghandi, Attila the Hun, Columbus and Isabella, Pocahontas and Minihaha, Tokyo Rose and Shanghai Lil, Eva Braun and more - keeping audiences in stitches as they turn the Lipbalm apartment - and history - upside-down.
