SYNOPSIS: Showboat is a musical treasure that beautifully paints a portrait of the ugliness of racism, marital discord and abandonment. And it is a story of love proclaimed in songs that have become standards in American musical literature SHOW BOAT covers one of the most dramatic eras in American history and spans four decades to tell its panoramic, romantic story of the Cotton Blossom floating theater, the Hawks family and their show boat troupe of actors.

SONG LIST:
Act I
Cotton Blossom
Cap'n Andy's ballyhoo
Where's the mate for me
Make believe
Ol' Man River
Can't help lovin' dat man
Life on the wicked stage
Till good luck comes my way
Mis'ry's comin' aroun' I would like to play a lover's part I might fall back on you
Queenie's ballyhoo
Villain dance
You are love
 
Act II
At the fair
Why do I love you?
In Dahomey
Convent scene
Bill
Can't help lovin' dat man (reprise)
Trocadero opening chorus Apache dance
Goodbye, my lady love
After the ball
Ol' man river (reprise)
Hey, feller
You are love (reprise)
Cotton Blossom (reprise)
It's getting hotter in the north
Yes, ma'am
Kim's imitations (why do I love you?)
Dance away the night
A pack of cards
Creole love song
Out there in an orchard
Gallivantin' aroun' I have the room above her
Ah still suits me Nobody else but me
