Based on the celebrated novel by Daniel Wallace and the acclaimed film directed by Tim Burton; BIG FISH: THE MUSICAL tells the tale of Edward Bloom, a man who leads an extraordinary life-according to the stories he tells about meeting witches, kissing mermaids or joining the circus. Overflowing with heart, humor and spectacular stagecraft, BIG FISH is an extraordinary new musical that reminds us why we love going to the theatre.
BIG FISH features a talented cast of nineteen students between the ages of thirteen and eighteen as well as five youth performers. Cast members of BIG FISH reside in Wellesley as well as neighboring communities including Medfield, Natick, Needham, Newton, Waban, Weston and West Roxbury.
The BIG FISH production staff includes: Ben Rush, Director & Scenic Designer; Luciana Fionda, Choreographer; Eric Anderson Jr., Music Director; SeifAllah Cristobal; Lighting Designer, Bec Lowe; Costume Designer, and Alexa Lambert, Stage Manager. Based on the novel by Daniel Wallace and the Columbia Motion Picture written by John August and directed by Tim Burton, the book is by John August with music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa. WTP is producing BIG FISH through special arrangements with Theatrical Rights Worldwide.
