.AustinPlayhouse's charming fish tale is small in scale but huge in heart.
“People want to see things beyond their imagination, bigger than life,” says the circus ringmaster who’s a werewolf to the cave-dwelling giant who becomes a sideshow attraction and entrepreneur in the musicalYet the best thing about Austin Playhouse’s thoroughly delightful staging of this show is that it has pared down the overextravagance – the sheer bigness – that defined the Broadway production, which premiered to poor reviews in 2013 and closed after just 98 performances.
The Austin Playhouse production goes smaller by adopting a version of the script that cuts an adventure or two and requires a reduced cast. All but Cannata as Edward – including Brian Coughlin, Nick Hunter, Kia Zhani, Braden Tanner, Stephen Mercantel, Ella Mia Carter, Maria Latiolais, and Amy Minor – double as featured characters and ensemble players.
