Based on Edna Ferber’s bestselling novel of the same name, the musical follows the lives of the performers, stagehands and dock workers on the Cotton Blossom, a Mississippi River show boat. Its themes include racial prejudice and enduring love. The musical contributed such classic songs as "Ol’ Man River," "Make Believe," and "Can’t Help Lovin’ Dat Man."
