Overview
Based on the classic novel by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Edna Ferber, Giant is a new American musical that spans generations in an epic chronicle of the state that's like no place else on earth: Texas. Amid a turbulent culture of greed, bigotry and money, a powerful cattleman, his new East Coast bride, their family and friends – not to mention their enemies – embrace and confront the joys and sorrows that loom as large as the state they call home. With a book by Tony-nominated bookwriter Sybille Pearson and music and lyrics by Michael John LaChiusa (the five-time Tony-nominated composer of The Wild Party and Marie Christine), Giant received rave reviews for its off-Broadway production at the Public Theatre.
