### *BIG The Musical* grants wishes for Make-A-Wish
In conjunction with press night and the show's official opening, *BIG The Musical* held a Gala to support the Make-A-Wish Foundation, a charity that helps grant wishes to children with critical illnesses. The non-profit organisation was chosen to reflect the plot of the musical, in which Josh Baskin wishes upon a Zoltar machine.
*BIG* is based on the original 1988 film of the same name, which starred **Tom Hanks**. The West End musical stars The Wanted's **Jay McGuiness** as Josh, who reprised the role from the Dublin, Ireland and Theatre Royal Plymouth runs.
The show features music by **David Shire**, lyrics by **Richard Maltby**, choreography, direction by **Morgan Young**, and a book by **John Weidman**.
