Show Boat Reviews
Christopher West from London, UK
BRILLIANT SHOW, JUST GO WHILE YOU STILL CAN! TICKETS CHEAPER
Dazzling, vibrant performances that were about as good as you can get- stunning opening tenor voice singing 'Only Make Believe' and then matched in standard by
equally fab soprano. The other main voices were also brilliant, as were the supporting chorus. They made the very best of 'Can't Help Lovin Dat Man' and Paul Robeson would probably have been
delighted with the young guy's fine, firm interpretation of 'Ole Man River.' The dance sequences were exciting and thrilling and it was just a shame that they didn't play the overture. It's coming off
soon; one suggestion is that Showboat doesn't get enough cover, perhaps this company could soon revive and tour with it. Back in the 1930's Kearne and Hammerstein were cutting totally new
ground, surely setting the stage for the other 'biggies' that we know and love today. Showboat deserves to be preserved, treasured and to 'keep rollin along!'
