Spotlight: BIG FISH at Theatre444
Don’t Miss Out – BIG FISH Hits the Stage at Theatre444!
Theatre444 will present the beloved Broadway Musical, Big Fish with music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa; book by John August. 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. The real magic isn’t in the stories we tell. It’s in the way they live on in the people who love us most.
With a talented cast hailing from multiple cities, audiences can expect to see a Tale of new proportions! Patrick Fegley (Clifton Springs) and Laura Feligno (Geneva), play Edward and Sandra Bloom while Damon Fletcher (Seneca Falls) and Marilla Gonzalez (Geneva) play their younger counterparts retelling their love story.
