Ashley Brown, Nathan Gunn & More Set for Lyric Opera's SHOW BOAT
Ashley Brown (MARY POPPINS) and opera singer Nathan Gunn will lead the Lyric Opera's SHOW BOAT, according to the production's website.
Created in 1927, SHOW BOAT gave American musical theater and opera a new voice — one with powerful subject matter, astonishing musical variety and an unmistakably American atmosphere.
Moving from 1890s Mississippi to Chicago to “Roaring 20s” Broadway, Show Boat follows the lives of a company of theater folk — deeply involving us in their triumphs and sorrows, while illuminating the racial and social changes that were shaping the country.
The Lyric Opera says: "You’ll love every character: Julie, Joe, Queenie…and especially Magnolia and Ravenal. She’s an aspiring young actress; he’s an irresistible, gambling cad who leaves her when his luck runs out. But Magnolia moves on with her life — eventually becoming a major star.
"Unforgettable songs, dazzling choreography, and an epic story that moves us with its humanity — Show Boat is both great entertainment and great art."
