Big Fish

A live orchestra is always a good thing, and the singing was on point. Some of the songs were catchy. The staging was very clever. A highlight for me was people taking turns doing foley work at the side of the stage, I've never seen that before! Definitely worth your money. The only thing I will say is that the acting felt a little cheesy, but that's possibly down to the characters, who are incredibly peppy Americans.

Just WOW!
You have one more chance to see this amazing show. The script is a delight, the songs are catchy, the acting, singing and music are tremendous! Get up early, clear your diary and get tickets!

Saw last year's production of Godspell which was enough to convince us to make the early trip from Glasgow to see this - well worth the effort! Talented cast with impressive visuals.

A truly magical show! Absolutely superb cast and music. An emotional journey that was told exceptional well by a talented bunch of people. One of the highlights of the fringe!

I have seen most of the Conservatoire's productions over the years. Whilst the singing and production values were excellent, the show itself left me underwhelmed. It was a schmaltzy American musical which seemed dated and cliched. Some good tunes. I was surrounded by a group of young Americans who were very enthused, unlike me.

Finally got the chance to see Big Fish, a musical I’ve been desperate to see for years. Outstanding lead performances, and truly mesmerising choral singing, which I’ve come to expect from RCS over the years. Beautifully staged, a feast for the senses and incredibly moving.

As others has said: this is obviously the best musical at the Fringe, and is worth getting up early for!

Wow this was utterly sublime! If you only see one thing at the Fringe this year, let it be this! It’s rare to see a musical at the Fringe of this quality - every cast member delivering a fantastic performance, stars of the future.

Don’t let the early start put you off - definitely worth getting up for! So many amazing moments, but “Time Stops”, “Stranger”, and “I Don’t Need a Roof” we’re just magical.

The best show of my Fringe experience, hands down. Every actor in this production held their own with incredible vocals and a believable emotional journey. I can't wait to see them on the West End!

The BEST show I went to see from my entire Fringe experience. Such a beautiful story, I loved the onstage sound effects and everyone was extremely talented. If you have the time this show is worth a watch!

We just love it!
A colourful musical with inventive sound effects that makes you want to wander around this imaginary world. The first incredible scene gave me goosebumps, and we also love the meeting scene where time slows down to show the love at first sight and the final scene, which is so moving.

Just brilliant. I saw the film many years ago but this musical had a freshness and excitement about it. The story has comedy and sadness, and transports the audience such that the time flies by. The cast were all excellent and would not be out of place in the West End. Really, really good. 5 stars at least.

A heartwarming, joyous story performed by a talented, bright young cast. Don’t be put off by the early start and the length - musical theatre of this standard is rare at the Fringe and this will set you up for the day perfectly and leave you feeling good inside.

Super professional, well done in every aspect, highly entertaining.

5/5

Saw the Royal Conservatoire version of Legally Blonde a few years ago and this was another cracking show.

Other than the staging, which is obviously not to West End standards, the performances are as good as any big musical you might see for a fraction of the cost.

I didn't know anything about Big Fish going in and it was a very poignant story, not the fluffy stuff you might normally expect from a musical, but I thoroughly enjoyed it nonetheless.

Fantastic show. Both joyous and sad (bring your hankies). Great performances by all the cast. Clever direction showing what can be done with a small set. Definitely one to be seen!

Quite astonishing- a brilliant production and the best thing I have seen at the Fringe in many years. Could transfer tomorrow to the West End! Get a ticket if you can (but be warned, everything else you see will be disappointing in comparison!)
And no, I have no links to the company, cast or crew- I’m just a really wowed audience member!
