<p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center">Edward Bloom has lived a full and magical life, populated by witches, giants, and mermaids, marked by true love that stops time in its tracks, and framed by heroics that push the limits of believability.
His adult son, Will, is no longer amused by his father’s fantastical tales, insisting on a rational rather than a fantastical account of one’s life. When Edward’s health declines, and Will learns that he and his wife, Josephine, will have a son of their own,
Will decides to find out his father’s “true” life story, once and for all. Big Fish is a heartfelt, powerful, and truly magical musical about parents and their children, and the tales that we use to define our identities and leave behind as part of our legacy.
Based on the celebrated novel by Daniel Wallace and the acclaimed film directed by Tim Burton, Big Fish tells a spectacular and fantastical story that is overflowing with love.<o:p></o:p></p>
