When frustrated 12-year-old Josh Baskin makes a wish to become "big" and wakes up the next morning a 30-year-old man, he discovers there's much more to being an adult than he's bargained for.

The Open Air Theatre cast of Big, the Musical includes actors who have become familiar faces over the past five seasons. The role of Josh Baskin, young and old, is shared by Tyler Hentz and Louis Palena, respectively.

Tyler has appeared in Open Air productions of Gypsy and The Wizard of Oz. Louis serves as co-artistic director for the outdoor venue and performed leading roles in this season's productions of Seussical, The Secret Garden and Li'l Abner.

David Whitman plays Mr. MacMillian owner of MacMillan Toy Company. David starred in past productions of The Drowsy Chaperone as Man In Chair and Young Frankenstein as the Monster. Anna Hentz is Mrs. Baskin and will be remembered by theatergoers for her portrayal of Mama Rose in the 2013 Open Air production of Gypsy. Playing the role of Susan is Jaimie Geddes who wowed audiences as Velma Kelly in the 2012 production of Chicago and was seen as Inga in last season's Young Frankenstein.
