'Big Fish' is the third Broadway show to go belly-up in a week, including the John Grisham dramatization 'A Time to Kill,' which concludes next Sunday, and the musical 'First Date,' which ends Jan. 5.




The Broadway musical "Big Fish" has failed to hook an audience and will close on Dec. 29.


The $14 million show based on a book and movie about an eccentric storyteller, opened on Oct. 6. Its early demise marks a high-profile flop for its Oscar-winning producers Dan Jinks and Bruce Cohen ("American Beauty"), Tony-winning director-choreographer Susan Stroman and two-time Tony-winning star Norbert Leo Butz.
