AYT is excited to be able to officially announce our summer show - Big Fish!!!
BIG FISH is a new Broadway musical featuring music and lyrics by Tony nominee Andrew Lippa
(The Addams Family, The Wild Party) and a new book by esteemed screenwriter John August
(Big Fish, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory).
Based on the celebrated novel by Daniel Wallace and the acclaimed film directed by Tim Burton, BIG FISH centers on Edward Bloom, a traveling 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, humor and spectacular stagecraft, BIG FISH is an extraordinary new
Broadway musical that reminds us why we love going to the theatre – for an experience that's richer, funnier and BIGGER than life itself.
From Playbill.com:
"A rollicking fantasy set in the American South, Big Fish centers on the charismatic Edward Bloom,
whose impossible stories of his epic adventures frustrate his son Will. As Edward's final chapter approaches,
Will embarks on his own journey to find out who his father really is, revealing the man behind the myth,
the truth from the tall tales."
