The musical - which will be on a limited run of nine weeks - will be hosted at the The Dominion Theatre in London having previously enjoyed a successful run at the Theatre Royal Plymouth in 2016.

Based on the book by John Wiedman, the show tells the story of Josh, a 12-year-old boy who hates being little, until one night at the carnival the mysterious Zoltar machine grants his wish to be big.

Trapped in an adult’s body and alone in New York, he innocently tries to find his way around a grown-up world where it’s all work and no play.

But while everyone around him tries to act their age, Josh just can't help being himself. Maybe he can teach the real adults a thing or two.

The musical features songs by David Shire and Richard Maltby and is directed and choreographed by Morgan Young.
