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 a récemment navigué dans le West End pour rejoindre le New London Theatre après une représentation réussie au Crucible Theatre de Sheffield. Il est ouvert depuis un peu plus d’un mois maintenant, mais a fait la une des journaux à la fois pour ses critiques cinq étoiles et pour avoir annoncé une clôture anticipée de quatre mois.

Le West End semble connaître en ce moment un afflux massif de reprises incroyables – que ce soit Gypsy l’an dernier, Funny Girl cette année ou Sunset Boulevard à l’ENO – mais personne ne s’attendait à ce qu’une reprise d’un spectacle soit aussi exceptionnelle que celle de Show Boat au New London Theatre. Le spectacle lui-même (qui a été joué pour la première fois il y a plus de 90 ans) est enfin de retour à Londres dans cette production glorieuse et enchanteresse, qui donne à un spectacle qui pourrait sembler ancien et morne aussi grandiose que n’importe quel autre.

Si jamais il fallait prouver que certains des meilleurs théâtres viennent de l’extérieur de Londres, la production de Show Boat par Daniel Evans, actuellement jouée au New London Theatre , en est une. Il y a eu beaucoup d’enthousiasme autour de cette reprise du West End, suite à la série cinq étoiles au Sheffield Crucible l’an dernier. Avec une distribution exceptionnelle et une bande originale fabuleuse, le spectacle est un spectacle réconfortant, une comédie musicale classique qui vous fera rire, pleurer et envisager sérieusement de vous lever et de vous joindre à la scène.
