Directed this Summer, 2026 by Todd Walroth & Andrew Attwood

Based on the celebrated novel by Daniel Wallace and the acclaimed film directed by Tim Burton with a screenplay by John August BIG FISH is a fantastical, heartwarming musical that follows the life of Edward Bloom, a traveling salesman whose larger-than-life stories captivate everyone around him-especially his loving wife, Sandra. But their son, Will, about to become a father himself, is determined to uncover the truth behind his father’s epic tales. As Will embarks on a journey to understand the man behind the myth, BIG FISH explores the power of storytelling, family bonds, and the search for identity.

Perfect for any stage, BIG FISH will enchant audiences with its dazzling spectacle and timeless themes, making it a perfect choice for theaters seeking a musical that’s as rich and inspiring as life itself.
