We are delighted to announce that our summer 2027 musical will be Big Fish, directed by Emily Starr, with musical directors Maria Carnarius and Andrew Whitaker, and choreographer Vikki Jones. The show will play at the ADC Theatre 3-12 June 2027.

Big Fish tells the story of Edward Bloom, who tells tall tales of his life to his son, Will, leading Will to feel like he doesn’t really know his father. Did he really meet a witch, a mermaid, and a giant? They try to reconcile their relationship as Will is on the cusp of becoming a father himself, and Edward must face his own mortality.

Based on the book by Daniel Wallace and movie from Tim Burton, Big Fish features a beautiful score from Andrew Lippa and book from John August. Variety called it “a wholly satisfying show: meaningful, emotional, tasteful, theatrically imaginative and engaging”.

Auditions will be held around January, info to come soon!
