Advance Notice – “Showboat” at Boston Conservatory April 24-26. Do Not Miss It!


If you are a fan of musical theater, the music of Jerome Kern or just a fan of great entertainment, pull out your calendar and pencil in the weekend of April 24-26. The Boston Conservatory will be offering, as a Main Stage production by their Department of Theater, a rare mounting of a concert version of Showboat.


The role of “Joe,” made famous by Paul Robeson with his rendition of “Ole Man River.” will be played by Nicholas Christopher. I recently saw Nick appear in the role of Don Quixote in a student-directed production of Man of La Mancha. This talented freshman had me believing he was an aged knight errant from La Mancha, so I cannot wait to see what he does with the role of “Joe.”
