Love Jackman, but the film of Big Fish completely bored me. And I've yet to hear a score by Lippa that sticks in my memory.

I love the movie. Not Lippa's biggest fan, but if he writes it, I will come.

I wonder who will play the Albert Finney role. (He was brilliant in the film.) I hope this happens (and that Hugh Jackman does it-love him!).

Hate the movie. I was bored with it as well.

I like Lippa's music, and Jackman can make anything a hit. So I'm excited for this also. Hope it pans out.

Incidentally, I watch/listen to this video often someone made on YouTube, telling the whole story of BIG FISH to the tune of Hans Zimmer's "You're So Cool" from TRUE ROMANCE. (tazber you could've just watched this and gotten the gist in less than 5 minutes.) I especially like how he times the scenes perfectly with the tempo.

This could be fantastic. Big Fish is my absolute favorite Tim Burton film. I won't admit it, but I'm going to admit it-- I cry at the ending every time. And the heightened and magical elements of the source material will really lend itself to a musical.

Wait a minute. Andrew Lippa and Michael John LaChiusa both write Wild Party musicals. LaChiusa's gets to Broadway, Lippa's goes off-Broadway.

Then LaChiusa writes a musical called Little Fish. Now Lippa's going to write Big Fish?

Is this all just a coincidence?

The only logical next step would be for both to write musical adaptations of Hugh Wheeler's play, "Big Fish, Little Fish."


Failing that, i'd like to see that play revived.

I'd much rather have a composer of Lachiusa's talents working on this difficult material. Lippa's scores are often doggerel and musically uninspired.
