Show Boat is showing at the New London Theatre, London
The Oscar Hammerstein II and Jerome Kern musical will be directed by Daniel Evans.
Show Boat recently completed its run at the Sheffield Crucible.
Reprising their performances for the musical's West End transfer will be Gina Beck (Wicked/Les Miserables) as Magnolia Hawks, Rebecca Trehearn (City Of Angels/Ghost) as Julie and Emmanuel Kojo (Scottsboro Boys) as Joe.
Magnolia: I never complained. I've lived like this half the time - washing clothes, cooking food over a gas jet, but I loved him. And if all that came with him, I was willing to take care of it. I thought he knew that.
Further casting to be announced.
Perhaps the most influential musical of the twentieth century, Show Boat combined the talents of Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein II, both of whom had felt for some time that Broadway musical theatre was suffering from a lack of depth and needed to steer away from the fluffy musical comedies and melodramatic operetta that it was accustomed to. After choosing for their subject Edna Ferber's sprawling novel of life on the Mississippi, Kern and Hammerstein set out to deal with issues such as unhappy marriages and racial prejudice.
The story, which spans almost fifty years, deals primarily with the fortunes of an impressionable young woman named Magnolia Hawks, her father who owns a show boat named the Cotton Blossom, and a troubled riverboat gambler/actor named Gaylord Ravenal. Magnolia and Gaylord fall in love while acting on the showboat and eventually marry and move to Chicago. They separate, however, after Gaylord loses all of their money gambling. The subplot involves Magnolia's mulatto friend, the tragic Julie La Verne.
Show Boat opened at the Ziegfeld Theatre on December 27, 1927 and ran for 572 performances. It has been revived numerous times--most successfully by Hal Prince in 1994--and spawned several film versions including the 1936 film with Irene Dunne and the 1951 version with Ava Gardner and Howard Keel. The original cast included Charles Winninger, Norma Terris, Howard Marsh and Helen Morgan.

Show Boat ha navegado recientemente hacia el West End hacia el New London Theatre tras una exitosa temporada en el Crucible Theatre de Sheffield. Lleva abierto poco más de un mes, pero ha acaparado titulares tanto por sus críticas de cinco estrellas como por anunciar un cierre anticipado de cuatro meses.

El West End parece estar viviendo una enorme avalancha de increíbles reposiciones en este momento – ya sea Gypsy el año pasado, Funny Girl este año o Sunset Boulevard en el ENO – pero nadie esperaba que una reposición de un espectáculo fuera tan brillante como esta de Show Boat en el New London Theatre. El espectáculo en sí (que se representó por primera vez hace más de 90 años) por fin regresa a Londres en esta gloriosa y encantadora producción que hace que un espectáculo que podría parecer antiguo y sombrío se sienta tan grandioso como cualquier otro.

Si alguna vez se necesitara una prueba de que algunos de los mejores teatros provienen de fuera de Londres, la producción de Show Boat de Daniel Evans, que ahora se representa en el New London Theatre , es esa producción. Ha habido gran expectación por este resurgimiento en el West End, tras la temporada de cinco estrellas del programa en el Sheffield Crucible el año pasado. Con un reparto estelar y una banda sonora fabulosa, el espectáculo es un espectáculo que te hace sentir bien, un musical clásico que te hará reír, llorar y plantearte seriamente levantarte y unirte.
