April brings us  the pre-Broadway World premiere of BIG FISH!

BIG FISH, a new musical based on the novel by Daniel Wallace and the 2003 Columbia Pictures film written by John August, will star Norbert Leo Butz as Edward Bloom, and have its pre-Broadway world premiere at Chicago’s Oriental Theatre (24
West Randolph Street) in a limited 5-week engagement beginning
performances Tuesday, April 2, 2013, opening Sunday, April 21, 2013, and
playing through Sunday, May 5, 2013.  Tickets go on sale to the public
Monday, February 4, 2013.

A rollicking fantasy set in the American South, BIG FISH
centers on the charismatic Edward Bloom, whose impossible stories of
his epic adventures frustrate his son Will.  As Edward’s final chapter
approaches, Will embarks on his own journey to find out who his father
really is, revealing the man behind the myth, the truth from the tall
tales.  Overflowing with heart, humor and inventive stagecraft, BIG FISH is an inspirational tribute to the power of family, dreaming big and the unpredictable adventure of life itself.

IN 2003, a critically acclaimed film of Big Fish was released by
Columbia Pictures directed by Tim Burton, starring Ewan McGregor, Albert
Finney, Billy Crudup, Jessica Lang and Helena Bonham Carter.  The film
was nominated for an Academy Award, Grammy Award, 4 Golden Globe Awards
and 7 BAFTA Awards.

Tickets for BIG FISH at the Oriental Theatre range in
price from $33-$100.  A select number of premium seats are also
available for many performances.
