Giants... witches... mermaids... a circus... a field of daffodils...
all play a part in the incredible, larger-than-life tales and adventures
adventures that Edward Bloom tells his son, Will, who is expecting his
first child. But Will questions his father and is determined to find
the truth behind the tales. When Edward's health deteriorates,
Will visits his father and tries one last time to find out the truth
about his father and to unleash the secrets his father taught him.

A heartfelt and powerful musical about the struggles
of a father and son to understand each other.

Based on the celebrated novel by Daniel Wallace and the acclaimed film
directed by Tim Burton, Big Fish overflows with heart, humor, and
spectacular stagecraft, and reminds us why we love going to the theatre.
