Big River at Lyric Theatre of Oklahoma

With the support of over 100 consensus organizers (individuals and organizations serving the black community), this revision of Broadways Tony Award-Winning Musical will lift your spirit. The hour-long version of Mark Twains novel removes offensive language and expands the role of Jim, now the same age as Huck. Twains classic sweeps us down the mighty Mississippi as the irrepressible Huck Finn helps his friend Jim, an enslaved teen, escape to freedom from enslavement. This tale of friendship against all odds is recreated for young audiences as two best friends demonstrate the power children have to change the world. Great fun for all ages. Ideal fun for families and grandkids!
