ABOUT BIG FISH:
TWELVE CHAIRS VERSION
BIG FISH 12 Chairs is the new, intimate version of the 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.
