The business of big laughs. No one argues with success.  Just ask Victor Burlington, a self-satisfied, grandiose, amoral and very successful big business boss.  He’s had it all his way; that is, until he hires Norman insecure, highly moral and more than a little naive.  Despite Victor’s ruthless scheming and blowhard badgering, Norman seeks a better corporate way.  The plucky recruit proves to be strong executive material as he challenges Victor’s methods and power. 

The stage is set for a surprising and hilarious battle for the heart and soul of Corporate America. "Rip-roaringly funny. With its snappy dialogue and non-stop mayhem, BIG BOYS proves a winner. -- New York Times
