Bursting from the pages of Mark Twain’s classic novel Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, this Tony Award-winning musical is joyous and profound entertainment for the entire family.

Join Huck, Tom Sawyer, and Jim as they take you on a thrilling journey down the mighty Mississippi. Filled with humanity, wisdom, and homespun humor, Big River has a foot-stompin’, hand- clappin’ score by Roger (“King of the Road”) Miller that reminds us the quest for freedom and seduction of a new frontier lives in every American soul. And, besides, as Huck himself tell us: “You feel mighty free and easy and comfortable on a raft.” What better way to celebrate the joys of summer than with Big River!
