Some stories are larger than life. Based on the beloved novel by Daniel Wallace and the film directed by Tim Burton, Big Fish is a whimsical musical filled with colorful characters and magical adventure. It tells the tale of Edward Bloom, a traveling salesman with an incredible imagination and a thirst for adventure. His larger-than-life stories enchant everyone—except his son, Will. As Will prepares to become a father, he sets out to uncover the truth behind his father’s stories. Filled with humor, magic, and a soaring score, Big Fish is a joyful celebration of love, family, and the stories we pass down.
