"Be the hero of your own story." This week on Musical Lyrical Lingo, we are unpacking our tackle boxes and grabbing a massive box of tissues as we dive into Andrew Lippa and John August’s 2013 masterpiece, Big Fish. Based on the celebrated Daniel Wallace novel and the iconic Tim Burton film, this show redefines the "Lingo" of the American family drama. Join us as we explore the towering "Tall Tales" of Edward Bloom—complete with giants, witches, and fields of daffodils—and the grounded struggle of his realist son, Will, who is desperately trying to find the man behind the myth before time runs out.

"I don't need a roof to say I love you..." Whether you're a dreamer who reaches for the stars or a realist who keeps both feet on the ground, this episode is a love letter to family, forgiveness, and the magic of theatre.
