The 1987 hit movie bursts onstage in this vibrant, funny and touching musical. When frustrated adolescent Josh Baskin wishes he were "big" and wakes up the next morning a 30-year-old man, he discovers there's much more to being an adult than he's bargained for - and learns we must all grow up at our own pace, in our own time.

This is the traditional children's fairy tale of a boy named Jack who trades his beloved cow for a handful of "magic" beans. The planted beans grow into a huge beanstalk reaching far into the clouds and into the realm of a giant who had kidnapped Jack's father. Despite his mother's pleadings, Jack climbs up the beanstalk and helps his father to escape from the giant, who ends up not being as mean as everyone thought.
