Norbert Leo Butz Talks & Sings BIG FISH

Two-time Tony Award winner Norbert Leo Butz returns to the musical theatre mainstage with his new theatrical venture, BIG FISH, an adaptation of the hit Tim Burton feature film currently trying out in Chicago before its Broadway bow in the Fall, and some glimpses at his central performance of patriarch Edward Bloom have now become available.

"Because, even though I'm making deals and bringing people joy, / I'm usually only thinking of my boy," sings Butz in the charming and attractive character-developing tune, "Fight The Dragons".

Additionally, the Chicago Tribute has released a behind-the-scenes look at the new musical featuring the cast and creative team, as well as offering us a peek at the show onstage.

The score for BIG FISH was written by Andrew Lippa, with a book by John August, who wrote the original screenplay for the film. The show is directed and choreographed by multi-Tony-winner Susan Stroman.

Stay tuned to BroadwayWorld for an extensive InDepth InterView with Susan Stroman all about BIG FISH and much, much more later this month!
