Bigfoot!, a new musical comedy, will premiere off Broadway this spring at New York City Center, running for eight weeks only from February 11, 2026.

Tony and Emmy Award nominee Amber Ruffin (book and lyrics), David A. Schmoll (book), and Kevin Sciretta (score) co-created this musical set in Muddirt, a glow-in-the-dark town nestled between a chemical dump site and a nuclear power plant. It's home to a misunderstood youth who's eight feet tall, innocent, and in need of electrolysis, who becomes a target of corrupt politicians and small-town paranoia.

Danny Mefford directs and choreographs. Cast and additional creative team members have yet to be announced.
