Selfish Giant, The (Libretto with Piano/Vocal Score)
David Perkins
Giant (LaChiusa)
by Michael John Lachiusa, Sybille Pearson, Edna Ferber
Synopsis
Based on the classic novel by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Edna Ferber, Giant is a new American musical that spans generations in an epic chronicle of the state that’s like no place else on earth: Texas.
Amid a turbulent culture of greed, bigotry and money, a powerful cattleman, his new East Coast bride, their family and friends – not to mention their enemies – embrace and confront the joys and sorrows that loom as large as the state they call home.
With a book by Tony-nominated bookwriter Sybille Pearson and music and lyrics by Michael John LaChiusa (the five-time Tony-nominated composer of The Wild Party and Marie Christine ), Giant received rave reviews for its off-Broadway production at the Public Theater.
