The original score of BIG MAN is a lively and dynamic mix of musical styles that brings Albert’s inner world — and his family’s reality — vividly to life.
The heart of the show pulses with big band swing and smoky jazz, capturing the glitz and energy of Albert’s imagined 1960s Las Vegas. Jimmy leads show-stopping nightclub numbers full of swagger and sparkle, channeling the Rat Pack vibe with finger-snapping rhythms, brassy horns, and lush harmonies.
Albert and Lainie’s duets evoke the sweet, wholesome sentimentality of the 1950s and early 60s — playful romantic ballads that recall Doris Day or Patti Page, filled with warmth and an undeniable charm.
In contrast to these throwback styles, Brian and Olivia’s songs infuse the score with a contemporary edge — intimate, vulnerable, and emotionally charged.
