From the same creative team that brought audiences the acclaimed productions of Les Misérables and Anything Goes, this spectacular new musical promises to be one of the most ambitious and visually stunning shows yet.

Based on the beloved novel and film, Big Fish the Musical tells the story of Edward Bloom, a man whose life is filled with extraordinary tales of mermaids, giants, witches, and impossible journeys. As his son seeks to uncover the truth behind the legends, the show unfolds into a moving celebration of love, legacy, and the power of storytelling.

This production features a live orchestra, an energetic blend of dance styles spanning multiple genres, and incredible student-created designs that transform the stage into a vivid, dreamlike world. From whimsical costumes to imaginative sets, the artistry of the students is at the heart of the experience.

“Big Fish is the kind of show that lets performers, musicians, dancers, and designers all shine,” says director Jarrah Myles. “It’s joyful, emotional, and visually magical — exactly the kind of theater experience that stays with you long after the curtain falls.”

Performances run March 6–8 at the Paradise Performing Arts Center.

Come experience an unforgettable theatrical event filled with music, movement, and stories bigger than life itself.
