"The charming and whimsical musical Big Fish...has a score with several catchy tunes, a warm and witty book, and both comical and heartwarming characters which the talented cast in Hale Centre Theatre's production beautifully bring to life....features a trio of leads who excel in their parts. Chad Campbell is sweet and compassionate and effectively walks the fine line between fact and fiction as Edward. ...Nicholas Gunnell beautifully portrays the uptight, pessimistic Will, injecting his portrayal with much conflicted emotion, while Laura Anne Kenney is radiant as Sandra Bloom,...Campbell's warm voice does well on his songs. Gunnell's soaring solo "Stranger" and Kenney's performance of "I Don't Need a Roof" are two highlights in how they are infused with love and emotion but so simply and perfectly staged by director Cambrian James that you can instantly identify with the lyrics and the feelings of these characters...a comical yet emotionally rich musical that focuses on the important message of realizing that every person you meet is unique and that everyone can be the hero of their own story. That's a message that all of us can take to heart........ " -Gil Benbrook, Talkin' Broadway (click here to read the complete review)
"...Big Fish has found its audience in regional productions around the country, which, with a score as tuneful as this and writer John August’s script as funny as it is, makes this Hale Centre Theatre musical production more entertaining than the novel...and far more satisfying than the Tim Burton film...." -David Appleford, Valley Screen and Stage (click here to read the complete review)
"...an inspiring and soulful production...Chad Campbell...delivers a superb performance as Edward Bloom, imbuing his character with the requisite blend of bravado, gentility, and vulnerability....Nicholas Gunnell delivers an equally strong and persuasive performance as Will,...an inspiring and soulful production..." - Herbert Paine, Broadway World (click here to read the complete review)
