Last week The SpeakEasy Stage Company opened with their latest musical, Big Fish. The title may sound familiar because Tim Burton made a film based on the story that starred Ewan McGregor in 2003. The SpeakEasy Stage Company musical focuses on the relationship between a father (Edward Bloom) and his son (Will Bloom) which has become strained in recent years. Both look to make peace with each other after the father’s health declines but will they reconcile in time?
Big Fish March 13 – April 11 – Get Your Tickets Here
The 2.5 hour musical has two acts with an intermission. While the second act is much more emotional, it was my favorite part of the show and more than a little touching. The final scenes had both Sergio and I silently groping for the tissues I had in my coat pocket.
Big Fish runs through April 11th at the Calderwood Theater in the South End. For more information or to purchase tickets click on the link above.
