SYNOPSIS:

Based on the celebrated novel by Daniel Wallace and the acclaimed film directed by Tim Burton, BIG FISH tells the story of Edward Bloom, a travelling salesman who lives life to its fullest…and then some!  Edward’s incredible, larger-than-life stories thrill everyone around him — most of all, his devoted wife, Sandra. 

But their son Will, about to have a child of his own, is determined to find the truth behind his father’s epic tales.  Overflowing with heart and humour, BIG FISH is an extraordinary musical that reminds us why we love going to the theatre — for an experience that’s richer, funnier and bigger than life itself.

Over the course of six months, filled with laughter, hilarious misadventures, and the occasional liquid refreshment, these middle-aged women successfully bond and find the confidence to jumpstart their new lives.
