Big Shot was a Big Success in June 2024!

Yes, yes, you had to be a big shot, didn’t you

You had to prove it to the crowd

You had to be a big shot, didn’t you

All your friends were so knocked out

And, indeed, the cast and crew of our 2023-24 LIHSA 50th Anniversary culminating show Big Shot absolutely knocked us out on June 9, 2024.

An original LIHSA production based on the music of Billy Joel, the story and choreography were created by LIHSA Faculty L’aura Bagdziunas and Chris Brick. The show’s Musical Director was Adam Michael Tilford and its Set Designer was Erik Chocianowski.

The sold out, one-night-only event celebrated 50 years of artistic excellence at LIHSA and the tremendous impact of the support of The Joel Foundation in helping to shape the next generation of artists on Long Island.
