Hey Big Mike!

HEY BIG MIKE! is a wildly theatrical musical memoir that invites audiences to come home for the holidays with award-winning performer, Michael Caldwell. Ever since his mother passed away, Michael and his Vietnam-vet dad barely speak, instead spending their annual Christmas in Pittsburgh watching reruns on tv.

But when the words run out, the singing starts. Michael, backed by the musical genius of Anika Johnson’s original
pop score, hosts a kaleidoscopic cabaret of unforgettable characters,
each with their own distinct musical style and story to tell.

This
poignant production is a powerful examination of what’s left unsaid and
the hidden and not-so-quiet rituals we create to cope.

"What do you do with feelings you were never taught to have?"

"Songs, stories, and all the feelings your parents never talked about!"
