Music & Lyrics by Andrew Lippa, Book by John August
Directed by Leda Hoffmann

With music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa and based on the acclaimed film directed by Tim Burton, Big Fish is a wonder-filled celebration of love and storytelling, where heartfelt truths and fantastical tales are woven together into a vibrant, magical tapestry. As Edward Bloom, a traveling salesman, nears the end of his own story, it’s up to his son, Will, to embark on a journey to find the truth at the heart of his father’s stories and reveal the man behind the myths. Along the way, he discovers a world where the lines between truth and fiction are blurred and imagination soars, leaving him with a new appreciation for all of the unique ways we express love. Find the extraordinary in the ordinary with Big Fish.
