This is Going to Be Big is a two-part documentary series following four teenagers – Chelsea, Elyse, Halle and Josh – as they share their dreams and confront their challenges on and off stage in the lead up to the performance of the musical The Time Travelling Trio at their high school for students living with disabilities.

The jukebox musical tells the story of students who visit Australian national treasure John Farnham over four decades from the 60s to the 90s while doing an assignment on the singer. Music teacher Darcy Nolan and drama teacher Lori Nichols are the musical’s co-creators and school facilities manager Tony Rains is on board as the veteran producer. All are firm believers in the power of performance and theatre to inspire confidence, spark connections and create fun.

In the countdown to curtain-up, the students are uplifted by friends, family and teachers as they face crises of confidence, health issues and the momentous and ordinary rituals of teenage life. But ultimately, it is up to these young adults to challenge themselves to believe in their potential.
