Big Fish (Chicago) Tickets

Fantastic show! Norbert Leo Butz cannot be missed!

This was an excellent play that far exceeded my expectation.The story was involving, the songs lovely, and both the staging and performances were fabulous. It is a show with both heart and spectacle. I LOVED it. We used to live in New York, and I have seen probably over 100 Broadway shows. This is one of my favorites. Please know that I am not a "push over". In fact, there have been many "mega hits" that I have seen that I was quite underwhelmed with (think Jersey Boys or Chicago). However, this is a GREAT show. I hope it does well when it moves to NYC in the Fall.

one of best musicals and great story line we go to new york every summer and see 6 new broadway musicals this play will be a big hit on broadway just like the producers when it left chicago to go to broadway really keeps your interest even thou it is long great dancing and original songs.

Incredible stage craft. State of the heart heart to heart story.

I haven't read the book but I have seen the movie, so I had a basic idea of what to expect - an epic tale. Throw in Norbert Leo Butz and this musical is a smash hit! I really enjoyed this musical. It was funny, charming, and heart-warming. The music was well written, absolutely catchy and easy to follow. The combination of amazing actors and brilliant setting and visual affects help bring the characters into life and you find yourself drawn into the story. I can tell this musical will be a big hit on Broadway!

Big Fish was great! I never read the book or saw the movie, but I thought the show was fun, the songs were great and the story - well, tear-jerking. It did start a big slow, but I know there's some time for them to make revisions before Broadway, and I imagine they will tighten up the start. I hope to see it again once it hits the Big White Way!

Big Fish got off to a slow start with a very long first act. Music was so-so, but actors and staging was very well done. Second act and finale were excellent.

Fantastic and wonderful. Actors are incredible. The music is fabulous. The sets and dancing are truly great. This is a must see.

Beautiful staging, story line stayed similar to movie, but music was not memorable and a bit boring even.

This was a great show! The Oriental Theatre is beautiful, and the staff were very helpful. I would definitely recommend going!

Opening is a bit weak----is soon overcome. Otherwise, would rate as amazing !!!! Great evening. Brings tears, laughter, and high energy. Cast is suberb.

good for Broadway, but needs to be tightened up with more punch

The staging was great; the cast was excellent. It was too loud. Frequently the volume was so loud, it sounded like a jumbled mess. I couldn't understand the words of hear the melody, just a wave of noise. Please adjust the amplification so we all don't lose our hearing.

From the moment I sat down and saw the river I knew the play would be great. I had recently seen the movie version so I had high expectations. I was not disappointed. The sets were creative and innovative and really set the scenes. The lead female singer was especially beautiful and her voice was clear and angelic. The parts were well cast and I was continually impressed with how they visualized the story and drew you in. The time flew by and I could have easily have seen it again and again. First rate everything! I know it will do well on Broadway because it was an unforgettable, magical experience. Bravo!

Wasn't sure what to expect, had no idea what it was about. Visuals were great, Would go and see it again.

Not really knowing what to expect, but a fan of the book and the movie, I was delighted to be so entertained. It was a fun theater experience. I would give it 4 1/2 stars if that was possible. Norbert Leo Butz was amazing and the rest of the cast was also very good. . My only reason for not giving it 5 stars was that I didn't think that the number "There's going to be a hanging tonight" really fit and sometimes Will seemed a little tentative and needed to project more or he emoted just a bit too much. I would highly recommend this show and, it is appropriate for children.

This was the most emotionally moving experience I have had at a musical production. My husband and loved the show so much that we bought these tickets to return the following week before Big Fish left town. Norbert Leo Butz was absolutely phenomenal! His portrayal of Edward Bloom will stay with me for the rest of my life. It was incredibly refreshing to see such a sincere musical.

it was ok. the ending with the dad dyeing was to long.

Loved the play. I went to see Norbert Leo Butz since he is a St Louis native and we love him! His singing gives me goosebumps. His acting is stellar and he looks like he really enjoys himself. Pleased that his supporting cast was just as wonderful. Way to go Norb!

Sweet story of how a creative father embellished his ordinary life to bring light and inspiration to his son. The actors were very talented with incredible voices and the scene sets were amazing! I loved it!
