Big Fish

Edward Bloom has lived a fantastic life, populated by witches, giants and mermaids, heroes who push the limits of the imaginable. His adult son, Will, is no longer amused by his father's fantasy stories, and insists his father tell him a rational tale. When Edward's health deteriorates and Will learns that his wife is pregnant, he decides to find out, once and for all, the "real" story of his father.
Big Fish is a magical musical about the family and the stories we tell to define our identity.
