over with audience energy! **
Continuing in its award-winning tradition of producing plus-size
performers in super-size shows, Big Moves presents GARGANTUA: Fear of a
Fat Planet. One part dance musical, one part "Hitchhiker's Guide to the
Galaxy", with a blast of B-movie kitsch and some kick-ass liberation
politics to boot, GARGANTUA is a campy extravaganza with more booty,
more food fights, and more heart. Like other Big Moves shows, GARGANTUA
showcases plus-sized performers doing dance, song, and spoken word
that'll knock your socks off. Unlike previous shows, GARGANTUA is a
full-fledged musical, with an original script, fat chicks on
rollerskates, and an outrageous military plot that could tear the
galaxy apart.
Hey, parents! GARGANTUA is a PG-13 show! We're offering special youth
discounts at every show on our tour, so bring your kids and let them
see a vision of size acceptance that is revolutionary and fun. This
location is wheelchair accessible.
Please note: Seats are limited in this location, and seating in armless
chairs is even more scarce. Please call well in advance to reserve an
armless seat. We may have some cushioned spots available on the floor
(first-come-first served) in the front row for able-bodied individuals
who want to be right up next to the action. Call 617-869-2970 for
details!
