By: BWW News Desk
Jed Feuer and Boyd Graham's THE BIG BANG! closes on February 21 at American Stage Theatre Company.
THE BIG BANG! follows two budding off-Broadway writers as they perform highlights of their impending extravaganza, an epic musical that spans the history of the world from the big bang to the present for potential backers - played by the audience. Their play is budgeted for $83.5 million with a cast of 318 performers, 6,428 costumes, and a running time of 12 hours (don't worry, the actual running time is less than two hours).This hilarious musical features 18 side-splitting musical numbers, singing, dancing, narrating and portrayals of every major figure in world history, including Adam and Eve, the Virgin Mary, Plato, Napoleon, Caesar, Attila the Hun, Columbus, Pocahontas, Mrs. Gandhi and Cher, to name a few."This is the one show that our patrons keep asking us to bring back," said Producing Artistic Director Todd Olson.
