''Little Fish'' is a musical with music, lyrics and book by Michael John LaChiusa. The musical is suggested by two short stories by Deborah Eisenberg, "Days " and "Flotsam ". It concerns a group of friends living in New York City, one of whom, Charlotte, decides to stop smoking and then swims to compensate for the lack of nicotine. LaChiusa has said that he sees ''Little Fish'' as a "parable of sorts" for New York after the September 11 attacks.〔Brantley, Ben.(''New York Times'' review of "Little Fish" )''The New York Times'', February 14, 2003〕 ==Production history== The musical premiered off-Broadway at the Second Stage Theatre in New York City on February 13, 2003 and closed on March 9, 2003.
