Big Fish, the Musical
Aurora Fox Arts: 2/27 – 3/22
Megan Van De Hey and Kevin Schwarz
“Big Fish,
The Musical,” based upon the movie, is a real heart-opener. It’s the story of a
son who wants to know the real man he feels is hidden behind his father’s magical
tall tales.
Director John
Ashton has done an admirable job in the casting and pacing.
Kevin
Schwarz is the perfect right casting for Edward Bloom. This man can sing and
act and comes off onstage as a sort of regular guy ‘every Dad.’
Matt
Summers acts and sings the role of Edward’s son Will, with great heart.
Megan Van
De Hey delivers a luminous portrayal of Sandra Bloom that’s enhanced by her heartfelt
singing of “Two Men in My Life” and “I
Don’t Need a Roof.”
Rob Costigan
stands out in a comic portrayal of Amos Calloway.
Mark Rubald
is charming as Karl, the giant.
The ensemble
is full of the names of local favorites such as: Rachel Turner, Heather Doris, Mark Lively, Brian Murray and Scott Rathbun.
David Nehls’ music direction, Charles Dean
Packard’s scenic design and Piper Lindsay Arpan’s choreography are all
top-notch.
The Aurora Fox is
located at 9900 East Colfax Avenue, Aurora, CO 80010
