I'm a huge Amber Ruffin fan, especially after her work on Some Like It Hot so I’m curious how this pans out.
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.
Featuring lyrics by Tony® and Emmy® Award nominee Amber Ruffin, a book by Ruffin and Kevin Sciretta (MST3K), music by David Schmoll(The Second City) and direction and choreography by Danny Mefford (Spelling Bee, Fun Home), BIGFOOT! is musical comedy’s next BIG thing.
All remaining seats for the first 5 previews, February 11-15, are $59, including fees, no code required.
MTC35 tickets are also available for this through Feb 28th.
It’s also on 2-for-1 off-broadway week thru Mid-March

I reviewed this in Las Vegas several years ago. It needed work, but I thought it showed promise.
Super curious about this and looking forward to hearing more folks thoughts

I saw it last night. Consistently funny, awesome cast esp Grey H and Jason T. It's no Batboy or even Toxic Avenger, but I enjoyed it. Some nice songs.

I saw this tonight and thought it was a blast. The whole cast is doing great work but Gray Henson as Bigfoot and Crystal Lucas Perry as his mother are standouts. Crystal has a ballad near the beginning of the show that is stunning. The score overall is super fun and the book is just hilarious, but also has a lot to say about the current state of the country. Highly recommend!
