Spanning the years from 1880 to 1927, this lyrical masterpiece concerns the lives, loves and heartbreaks of three generations of show folk on the Mississippi, in Chicago and on Broadway. The arrival of “Show Boat” was a watershed moment in the history of American musicals, being the first Broadway score ever to have a coherent plot and integrated songs. The musical contributed such classic songs as “Ol’ Man River,” “Make Believe,” and “Can’t Help Lovin’Dat Man.”
Presented through special arrangement with R&H.
