What is the Story of Giant?
Giant is an epic new American musical that spans three decades as it chronicles the life of Bick Benedict, a Texan cattle rancher, his socialite wife, Leslie, and rival oilman Jett Rink. Bick and Leslie’s enduring marriage frames a larger portrait of the state of Texas, a vast landscape filled with greed, bigotry, money, power, clashing cultures, death and birth. With a book by Sybille Pearson and music and lyrics by Michael John LaChiusa, Giant brings the great state of Texas to life like never before.
