Event Series Event Series: Big Fish the Musical

Big Fish

Sep 20 @ 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm

The Contemporary Theatre of Ohio is thrilled to open its 2024-2025 season with the musical Big Fish, running from September 12-29, 2024, in Studio One at the Vern Riffe Center. Directed by Artistic Director Leda Hoffmann, this production promises a magical and enchanting start to its 40th season.

With music and lyrics by Columbus-based Tony nominee Andrew Lippa and a book by John August, Big Fish is based on the acclaimed film directed by Tim Burton. This musical is a wonder-filled celebration of love and storytelling, blending heartfelt truths with fantastical tales into a vibrant, magical tapestry. As Edward Bloom, a traveling salesman, nears the end of his own story, it’s up to his son, Will, to embark on a journey to find the truth at the heart of his father’s stories and reveal the man behind the myths. Along the way, he discovers a world where the lines between truth and fiction are blurred and imagination soars, leaving him with a new appreciation for the unique ways we express love. 

Individual tickets for Big Fish are $55 (plus fees) and can be purchased online at https://www.thecontemporaryohio.org/2024-25/big-fish/.
