Big River: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
music and lyrics by Roger Miller
book by William Hauptman
based on the novel by Mark Twain
March 20–April 10, 2010
Johnson Theater, TPAC
Mark Twain’s timeless classic sweeps us down the mighty Mississippi as the irrepressible Huck Finn helps his friend Jim, a slave, escape to freedom at the mouth of the Ohio River. Their adventures along the way are hilarious, suspenseful and heartwarming, bringing to life favorite characters from the novel-the Widow Douglas and her stern sister, Miss Watson; the uproarious King and Duke, who may or may not be as harmless as they seem; Huck's partner in crime, Tom Sawyer, and their rowdy gang of pals; Huck's drunken father, the sinister Pap Finn; the lovely Mary Jane Wilkes and her trusting family. Propelled by an award-winning score from Roger Miller, the king of country music, this jaunty journey examines friendship at its deepest and provides a brilliantly theatrical celebration of pure Americana.
