Based on the novel BIG FISH by Daniel Wallace and the Columbia Pictures film screenplay by John August
Big Fish (School Edition) follows the life of Edward Bloom, a man famous for spinning fantastical, larger-than-life stories about his adventures, encounters, and impossible feats. As Edward’s health begins to fail, his practical son Will struggles to separate truth from fiction—and to understand the father he feels he never truly knew.
Based on the beloved 2003 film Big Fish, directed by the visionary Tim Burton, the musical brings those tall tales vividly to life onstage—complete with witches, giants, circus performers, and unforgettable journeys. At its heart, Big Fish is a lyrical, deeply moving exploration of family, legacy, and how love can turn a life into a legend.
