Playing March 30 -- April 15
Onstage at Theatre Three: The Big Bang

(Dallas, Texas) Theatre Three’s intimate downstairs play space, Theatre Too!, continues with its 2006-2007 five show series with a breathtaking new song cycle, The Big Bang. Theatre Two housed our popular Spotlight Series and Appetizer Attraction series and is continuing with its first-ever full-length play series. All performances take place in Theatre Too!, the 90-seat venue just below Theatre Three. The Big Bang begins on Friday, March 30, 2007 and will close on Sunday, April 15, 2007.

Have you ever dreamed of getting involved in a big-time Broadway production? Join us in the elegant Park Avenue apartment of Dr. Sid and Sylvia Lipbalm as two wannabe producers, Jed and Boyd, try to line up backers for The Big Bang, the most expensive and lavish Broadway musical ever written. With a budget of $83,000,000, a cast of 318, 6428 costumes and 1400 wigs, this show will depict the entire history of the world - from the formation of the planets, to the building of the pyramid. From Napoleon’s France to the present. Adam and Eve, Nefertiti and the slaves, Caesar, Mrs. Gandhi, Attila, Columbus, Minnehaha, Tokyo Rose, Eva Braun and more. Will Broadway ever be the same? Surely, the Lipbalm apartment won't!

The Big Bang will be making its Theatre Three debut this season. It premiered at Douglas Fairbanks Theatre in NYC in 2001. It has also run at Tri-State Actor’s Theatre (NJ), The Broach Theatre (NC) and Florida Studio Theatre. Theatre Three’s resident musical director Terry Dobson is ecstatic to be directing The Big Bang.
