Upon his return, he comes face to face with the friends and family he left behind, and encounters a young female preacher with a special spiritual gift.

Romantic Musical Masterpiece
Come one, come all and climb aboard the show boat Cotton Blossom for a magnificent show you won't forget. Set in the South in the 1880s, this story of love and intrigue, friendship and deception, and marriage and family spans 47 years, tracing the lives of Cap'n Andy Hawks, show boat owner, and his company of entertainers. One of the first staged productions to blend a story with music, Show Boat boasts a brilliant score filled with captivating ballads and energetic show tunes. Prepare to be swept away as we float down the Mississippi with such classic tunes as "Ol' Man River" and "Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man."
