Under a burning prairie sun, love rides into a lawless land. Romeo and Juliet: The Old West reimagines Shakespeare’s tragic romance as a dust-kicked showdown between two feuding frontier families. With six-shooters at their sides and danger on every horizon, two young lovers dare to defy hatred in a town where loyalty is deadly and love comes at a price. Saddle up for passion, betrayal, and a fate as unforgiving as the Wild West itself.

Based on the celebrated novel by Daniel Wallace and the acclaimed film directed by Tim Burton, BIG FISH tells the story of Edward Bloom, a traveling salesman who lives life to its fullest … and then some! Edward’s incredible, larger-than-life stories thrill everyone around him—most of all, his devoted wife Sandra. But their son Will, about to have a child of his own, is determined to find the truth behind his father’s epic tales. Overflowing with heart and humor, BIG FISH is an extraordinary musical that reminds us why we love going to the theatre—for an experience that’s richer, funnier and bigger than life itself. For ages 8 and up.
