Once an exciting and glittering part of American entertainment, the river show boats of the Mississippi are now a fleeting memory. But now, staged in Grand Opera style by the San Francisco Opera, Show Boat is making a comeback. A true classic of American musical comedy, this is an epic tale of enduring love and racial tolerance.
Featuring popular tunes from the Oscar Hammerstein III song book, such as 'Ol' Man River' and 'Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man', this SFO revival has garnered much acclaim from critics; named a "Triumph?a stylish, fast-paced and colorful show that had the capacity audience on its feet, cheering loud and long" by the Chicago Classical Review.
