CANCELED - Big River

Big River transports audiences back to 1840’s Missouri to join Huckleberry Finn and Jim on their adventure down the Mighty Mississippi.
Based on Mark Twain’s classic novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Big River picks up where The Adventures of Tom Sawyer left off.  Huck has been living with the Widow Douglas and her sister Miss Watson, but has not taken well to town life and resists everyone’s repeated attempts to civilize him.  Huck is kidnapped by his own father, fakes his death, and runs away to live on his own.  His solitary plans are interrupted when he encounters Miss Watson’s slave, Jim, and the two set off on a journey to get Jim to freedom in the North.
Big River is a story about growing up, learning to stand up for others, keeping promises, and finding yourself.  Big River has won 8 Tony Awards® and audiences will revel in this American classic with its luscious soundtrack of country, bluegrass, and spirituals including “Muddy Water”, “Waitin’ For the Light to Shine”, and “Free At Last”.
