Where Imagination Meets Heart - BIG FISH Will Sweep You Away

Step into a world of wonder with BIG FISH, a magical and deeply moving musical that celebrates the power of storytelling, the love between father and son, and the extraordinary hidden in the everyday.

As Edward Bloom’s fantastical life unfolds—featuring witches, giants, mermaids, and more—his skeptical son embarks on a journey to separate myth from memory. What he discovers is a story far richer than he ever expected.

Based on the beloved novel and Tim Burton film, BIG FISH is a whimsical, emotionally rich production filled with humor, heart, and unforgettable stagecraft. It’s a poignant reminder of how our stories shape us—and how love endures even when words fall short.

This enchanting tale is brought to life by a passionate cast of volunteer performers, whose time, energy, and heart create a truly meaningful theatrical experience. When you attend, your applause becomes part of the story—a celebration of community, connection, and creativity.

Tickets are going fast—don’t miss this magical journey that will stay with you long after the final bow. Reserve your seat today and let your imagination soar.

Big Fish is presented through special arrangement with and all authorized performance materials are supplied by Theatrical Rights Worldwide 1180 Avenue of Americas, Suite 640, New York, NY 10036. www.theatricalrights.com
