Show Boat

Music by Jerome Kern
Book and Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II
Based on the Novel Show Boat by Edna Ferber

Romantic Musical Masterpiece
One of the most majestic scores in musical theatre buoys this sweeping tale of passion, pride, love, and betrayal. From masters Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein II, Show Boat spans five decades in the lives of Cap'n Andy Hawks and his troupe of entertainers, a vivid chronicle of changing lives in changing times, and one of the groundbreaking musicals of the last century. Climb aboard for unforgettable classics like "Ol' Man River," "Bill," and "Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man."
