The Big Bang

This 90-minute comic musical revue is staged as a backers’ audition for an $83.5 million dollar twelve hour stage history of the world from creation to the present. The Big Bang features eighteen side splitting numbers portraying Adam and Eve, Attila the Hun, the building of the pyramids, Julius Caesar and Columbus among others, to give the potential investors a taste of the impending extravaganza. In the process, the opulent Park Avenue apartment “borrowed” for the occasion is trashed as the two actors snatch its furnishings to create makeshift costumes while singing and clowning their way through inventive recreations of the past, stopping occasionally for a little supplicating show biz patter.
