From AL.COM: The University of Alabama Theatre and Dance department will present the musical “Show Boat” in the Marian Gallaway Theatre on UA’s campus from April 15-21. The musical will be the last production of the 2012-2013 season for the Theatre and Dance department.
Ed Williams is directing the play and describes it as “the American musical theatre coming into being. It combines vaudeville, specialty numbers and operetta long before Hammerstein brought us ‘Oklahoma,’ ‘Carousel’ and ‘South Pacific,'” according to a recent release.
