'The New York Post was right,' said Producing Artistic Director Robert Cacioppo, 'this really is the most brilliant and most well constructed farce ever written. This play was Florida Rep's inaugural production in 1998 for a reason. Because it truly is a love letter to the theatre, and because our audiences love to laugh.'

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.
