Show Boat

Show Boat

Come aboard Show Boat, one of the most beloved musicals of all time, for a sweeping journey, epic score and touching story. This screening of a grand performance from the San Francisco Opera features Tony Award winners Bill Irwin (Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?) and Harriet Harris (Thoroughly Modern Millie) in the American musical masterpiece. As the Cotton Blossom riverboat travels the Mississippi, a troupe of riverboat performers -- Julie, Joe, Queenie, Magnolia and Ravenal -- navigate the ups and downs of show business, love and loss in a time overshadowed by racial inequality. The 1927 musical features unforgettable songs by Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein II, including "Ol' Man River," "Make Believe" and "Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man."
