Description
Based on the classic novel by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Edna Ferber, Giant is a new American musical that spans generations in an epic chronicle of the state that’s like no place else on earth: Texas.

With a book by Sybille Pearson, music and lyrics by Michael John LaChiusa and direction by Michael Greif, Giant will come to life in an appropriately huge production with a company of 22 actors and a 17-piece orchestra.
