    Very different from the movie

    by jiji925 on 12/30/13Neil Simon Theatre - New York

    The musical was great, but deviated too much from the actual movie's storyline.

    effects and Norbert were great.

    by iamSMGM on 12/30/13Neil Simon Theatre - New York

    overall, the show was very good. I don't think the story was emotional enough (especially at the end). events seemed tushed and sometimes forced.

    Big Fish

    by BigTomCallahan55 on 12/30/13Neil Simon Theatre - New York

    This show was a pleasant surprise. I see a variety of Broadway shows, and I have come to the conclusion that shows made after an already made film are typically flops, but this show definitely broke that mold. I would actually go see it again given the opportunity.

    It closes today so this is pretty irrelevant. I am amazed this did not last that long on Broadway as it is one of the best shows I have seen (of around 20). The special effects were very cool, wonderful story, wonderful acting/music/singing/dancing.

    AWESOME!!!!!!! CANNOT BELIEVE IT IS CLOSING. ACTING, SCENERY, STORY HAS EVERYTHING ANYONE COULD ASK FOR IN A MUSICAL. VERY SAD TO SEE THAT IT WILL NOT BE THERE FOR MORE PEOPLE TO SEE.

    Big Fish was A Great Fish Story!!

    by encgen11 on 12/29/13Neil Simon Theatre - New York

    These talented performers, both behind the scenes and on the stage, gave a truly memorable performance. Their dedication to deliver this magical tale just 4 days before the close of the show is the mark of true professionals and you could tell they loved this show. It was a magical way to spend the holidays and for those of you who were able during the show's run or are able today to Dream Bigger, we were all very fortunate to hear Edward Bloom's fish tale.

    The sets were amazing, the singing was wonderful, and we all cried on the end. A very magical experience.

    Awesome Big Fish!

    by MarEma on 12/28/13Neil Simon Theatre - New York

    Big Fish is one of the best Broadway Shows that I have ever seen! I saw it first in previews, then came back to see it again because it was so good!. Possibly even better the second time around! The songs were great, the singing was magical, the sets were unique and the characters all were sparkling!

    One of the best Broadway shows I have seen

    by aausterm on 12/27/13Neil Simon Theatre - New York

    I saw this show originally in previews in Chicago and brought my family to the show in New York because I thought it was one of the best shows I have seen in a long time. I would recommend this show to anyone who enjoys fantastical journeys with a lot of heart.

    Big Fish, A Beautiful Show

    by LisaM87 on 12/26/13Neil Simon Theatre - New York

    The technology in this play was fantastic and the story memorable. The music was catchy and the switch from movie to play doesn't leave any less of an impression. The movie wasn't a musical number but the music added in the play conveyed the points just as well.

    Huge Disappointment

    by MichaelDeeeee on 12/26/13Neil Simon Theatre - New York

    On the plus side, Big Fish has fantastic production value - it's big, it's pretty to look at, and the cast performs their heart out. Nobert Leo Butz as Ed Bloom is in his usual top form, and Kate Baldwin brings some much needed restraint as Bloom's patient wife. But the negative trumps all the positive - a brilliant film has been dumbed down to a 2nd grade level. Every emotion and plot turn is starkly spoon-fed and the obvious is dropped on you again and again. Emotional moments are pulled out a the back pocket, rather than motivated. And there is hardly a memorable song in the lot. It can be considered 'safe family fare', as the content is all squeaky clean. There IS one genuinely moving moment: "I Don't Need a Roof" sung by Kate Baldwin as Sandra Bloom. It's a stunningly gorgeous number that sets itself apart from the rest of the show. Had the rest of the show has been this moving, it would have been a home run. But what should have been a genuinely moving musical becomes just another piece of formulaic tearjerking.

    Both meaningful and fun!

    by Anonymous on 12/26/13Neil Simon Theatre - New York

    Very enjoyable show that explores complex family relationships and puts on a fun and dynamic show. The visual effects blending lighting projected images and costumes was a standout - as was the lead, what a big role to carry off & he really did it. Big and boisterous as well as vulnerable - powerful.

    awful

    by shooz25 on 12/26/13Neil Simon Theatre - New York

    I love Leo Norbet Butz and went to this show because of him but in this show he was boring, seemed out of breath and sweaty. The acoustics were so bad that we could not hear the words or the songs and we were near the front. The costumes were uninteresting, the little son stiff and seemed lost. The older son had no personality and seemed uninterested and the dancing was so blah. Overall I understand why the reviews were so poor. We left at intermission very disappoint in this tired performance
