Big River

Big River The Musical
BOOK BY WILLIAM HAUPTMAN AND MUSIC AND LYRICS BY ROGER MILLER
BASED ON MARK TWAIN'S TIMELESS CLASSIC "THE ADVENTURES OF HUCKLEBERRY FINN"

Twain's timeless classic sweeps us down the mighty Mississippi as the irrepressible Huck Finn helps his friend Jim, a slave, escape to freedom at the mouth of the Ohio River. Their adventures along the way are hilarious, suspenseful and heartwarming, bringing to life your favorite characters from the novel-the Widow Douglas and her stern sister, Miss Watson; the uproarious King and Duke, who may or may not be as harmless as they seem; Huck's partner in crime, Tom Sawyer, and their rowdy gang of pals; Huck's drunken father, the sinister Pap Finn; the lovely Mary Jane Wilkes and her trusting family. Propelled by an award winning score from Roger Miller, this jaunty journey provides a theatrical celebration of pure Americana.
