“Big Fish”
Book by John August
Music & Lyrics by Andrew Lippa
Based on the novel by Daniel Wallace
Enter Stage Left Theater presents Big Fish, an extraordinary musical, overflowing with heart, humor and spectacular stagecraft. Produced by Hopkinton’s Enter Stage Left Theater (ESL), Big Fish features a cast from Hopkinton and surrounding towns.
As Big Fish director John Wayland Somers explains, “This is a wonderful program, filled with beautiful music and lyrics. It reminds us why we love going to the theatre.”
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. When Edward’s health declines, and Will learns that he and his wife, Josephine, will have a son of their own, Will decides to find out his father’s “true” life story, once and for all.
