Arizona Broadway Theatre presents SHOW BOAT, 1/12- 2/10

Passions run high on the mighty Mississippi as the paddle-steamer Cotton Blossom sets sail. With its powerful story of love, loyalty, and freedom, Show Boat is a thrilling musical spectacle that features some of the most memorable songs of the era, like "Ol' Man River" and "Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man (of Mine)." Its message of acceptance and inclusion resonates vibrantly even today.

Jamie Parnell as Gaylord Ravenal (Lancelot, Camelot '17; Nick Arnstein, Funny Girl '16; Bob Cratchit, A Christmas Carol the Musical, '15-'17) and Brittany Santos as Magnolia Hawks (Hodel, Fiddler on the Roof '16); Maria, West Side Story, '15) are joined by other ABT alums including Renée Kathleen Koher, Nick Kuhn, Anne-Lisa Koyabe, Ashley Nichole Martin, Blair Beasley, Gerri Weagraff, John Knispel, Lacy Sauter, Lauren Paley, Leon Glover, Matthew Ruff, Meggie Siegrist, Tyler Pirrung, and Tony Blosser.

New to ABT are Tempe's Earl Hazell (Joe), Mark Tumey (Cap'n Andy), Cody Gerszewski (Steve Baker), Christopher Cody Cooley, Claxton Rabb III, Juliana Desai-Parsons, Kara Ziringer, Lila Shipley, Marc-Anthony Lewis, Mia Hurley, and Shaunice Alexander.
