Max Wilcox, Taylor Louderman, Leslie Kritzer & More Set for Gigantic Off-Broadway

This coming-of-age tuner has attracted one stellar cast. Max Wilcox (Glee), Taylor Louderman (Bring It On: The Musical), Leslie Kritzer (Hairspray) and more have been tapped for the previously reported Gigantic off-Broadway. Directed by Scott Schwartz, the musical comedy is part of Vineyard Theatre’s upcoming season and will begin previews at The Acorn Theatre at Theatre Row on November 11. The limited engagement is set to officially open on December 3 and will play through December 20.

The cast will also include Andrew Durand (War Horse), Katie Ladner (Heathers), Burke Moses (Beauty and the Beast), Ryann Redmond (If/Then), along with Jared Loftin, Jennifer Geller, Bonnie Milligan, Larry Owens, Cole Ragsdale, MiMi Scardulla, Nyla Watson and Kalyn West.

Getting shipped off to weight-loss camp is hardly Robert’s (Wilcox) idea of the perfect summer, but even he isn’t prepared for what can be lost or gained at Camp Overton, the No. 3 weight-loss camp in Southern Pennsylvania. Gigantic tackles the growing pains of adolescence through the experiences of a bunch of misfit teens forced to find solace in one another as they look—inside and out—for acceptance, a hot make-out session, and the last contraband Butterfinger.

The production will feature a book by Randy Blair and Tim Drucker, music by Matthew roi Berger, lyrics by Blair, choreography by Chase Brock, set design by Timothy R. Mackabee, costume design by Gregory Gale, lighting design by Jeff Croiter and sound design by John Shivers and David Patridge. Music supervision, arrangements and orchestrations will be by Dominick Amendum, with musical direction by Aaron Jodoin.
