BIGFOOT! Is now playing through April 26, 2026.

Set in the town of Muddirt, a glow-in-the-dark oasis that exists somewhere between a chemical dump site and a nuclear power plant, BIGFOOT! is a larger-than-life musical tale of corrupt politicians, small town paranoia, and misunderstood youth. When that youth happens to be eight feet tall, innocent, and in dire need of electrolysis, it makes him more than a target. It makes him the subject of a can’t miss can’t-myth musical comedy.

The creative team for BIGFOOT! includes Meg Zervoulis (Music Supervision), Alejandro Senior (Music Direction), Tim Mackabee (Scenic Design), Mextly Couzin (Lighting Design), Ricky Reynoso (Costume Design), Sun Hee Kil (Sound Design), and J. Jared Janas & Cassie Williams (Hair, Wig & Makeup Design). Casting is by Jason Thinger, CSA. Hillel Friedman (Evan Bernardin Productions) will serve as general manager and Mario-Mars Wolfe will serve as production stage manager.

BIGFOOT! is produced by Benson Drive Productions (George Strus, CEO) in association with Manhattan Theatre Club (Nicki Hunter, Artistic Director and Chris Jennings, Executive Director). Co-producers for BIGFOOT! include David Carter, Frankly Spoken Productions, The Shubert Organization, Robin Thede, Carson Gleberman, Sean Nyberg, Adam Riemer, and Stark Sands.
