BroadwayWorld has a first look at the Glimmerglass Festival production of SHOW BOAT! Check out photos of the cast in action below!
As The Cotton Blossom docks in Mississippi, follow Cap'n Andy Hawks and his extended family on a journey of love and heartbreak. Revolutionary for its exploration of serious themes such as racism, Show Boat blends humanity and humor with plenty of hit tunes including "Ol' Man River," "Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man" and "Make Believe."
"Show Boat is based on the classic novel by Pulitzer-Prize winning author Edna Ferber. Her story took a clear-eyed, revolutionary look at the sprawling, messy society of the post-Emancipation years, the Industrial Revolution, and the conflicts between the North and South-issues still with us today. Kern wrapped it in joyous and heart-breaking songs that have become part of the fabric of our lives. The work is compellingly historic and contemporary all at once." - Francesca Zambello, director.
