Description

Edward Bloom's larger-than-life stories delight everyone – much to the dismay of his pragmatic son, Will. As Edward's health deteriorates and the realisation of a future without his father sets in, Will embarks on a journey to separate the man from the myth, and untangle the remarkable life of a Big Fish in a small pond. Based on the Daniel Wallace novel and Tim Burton's movie, and with a score from the composer of Broadway's The Addams Family, this fantastical musical about love, family and the joy of storytelling is an extraordinary tale unlike any other!
