BroadwayHD today announced that it will be bringing the San Francisco Opera's 2014 performance of Show Boat exclusively to their platform. This dynamic production of the iconic hit, directed by Francesca Zambello, will be available on the service beginning October 16.

Oscar Hammerstein II and Jerome Kern's classic production, Show Boat, is a poignant generational family love story that is a powerful reminder of America's legacy of racism from an earlier time in our history.
