The Harper Ensemble Theatre Company presents Big Fish

Big Fish is an experience that's richer, funnier, and bigger than life itself. Based on the novel by Daniel Wallace and the film by Tim Burton.

Directed by guest artist Jesus Perez (Chicago Kids Company www.chicagokidscompany.com)

Based on the celebrated novel by Daniel Wallace and the acclaimed film directed by Tim Burton, Big Fish tells the story of 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 and humor, Big Fish is an extraordinary musical that reminds us why we love going to the theatre — for an experience that’s richer, funnier and bigger than life itself. 

"Big Fish displays no fear in plopping its unabashed wholesomeness right in your lap. Its spirit is steeped in Rodgers and Hammerstein decency that propels an evening that's adventurous, romantic and, yeah, kinda hip.”  — BroadwayWorld
