My Review For Big - Sofia


Big the Musical is an 80s comedy, following Josh Baskin as he makes a wish and turns himself into a ‘big’ (an adult). At first he thinks it’s all fun and games, until he realizes what being an adult is actually about. He ends up having to get a job, a girlfriend and an apartment!

It was a very heart-warming, hilarious play, all made better by the cast. I firmly believe that all the actors did a fabulous job in making you really feel how they felt- sad, happy or anxious.



During the play, a couple of things weren’t as good. For example, all the actors were playing American characters, however, sometimes this would break, and you heard their actual accents. This made things a bit confusing as you weren’t sure if they were playing English characters or were unable to maintain their American accent. Also, I felt at certain points, the plot became very predictable and the outcome was obvious. This took away from my enjoyment of the show at times, but doesn’t take away from the great show overall.

All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed Big The Musical, and would definitely recommend if you enjoy comedies.

Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time - Lily

 The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time conveys nearly every emotion you could possibly think of having when going to see a play – intrigue and satisfaction, sadness and happiness and many more. The set is eye-catching immediately when you walk in the theatre, with a bright, modern design that is clearly well thought through and perfect for the production, which becomes clear throughout the show as side panels open up, graphics appear and every inch of space is used by the cast, even including the walls.  Mysteries start the moment the play does, no time is wasted and the plot only inspires more curiosity as it goes on, especially for those not familiar with the story. Yet even if you had read the novel it is based on or seen the show before, there is undoubtedly something new to see and appreciate, whether it’s the impressive choreography or watching the characters develop as they figure out the answers to questions they didn’t even know they had at the start.

My review of Big the musical - Andrew

 The musical was very interesting. I thought that the actors and actresses all played their characters very well, especially the man that played the older version of  Josh. Also I think the special effects were very clever and the music was quite catchy. The choreography was very impressive. My favourite character was the owner of the toy factory because he was a very funny character and made me laugh. Out of the whole show my favourite moment of it was when Josh and the owner of the toy factory sang the song, "It's  just fun". Josh's best friend was very good. I liked it when they did the hip hop dance after the break. The lady that played Josh's girlfriend was good and was a good singer. It kept my interest. It makes me want to watch the film. I would recommend it. Looking forward to next year's Summer Youth Project.
