A heartwarming and rousing journey based on Mark Twain's classic tale. Join Huck Finn and runaway slave Jim on a transformative musical trip down the Mississippi River. Their adventures are suspenseful, humorous and inspiring, and bring to life all the novel's favorite characters, including a rascally pair of river grifters, a grieving heiress and - of course - Tom Sawyer. The winner of 7 Tony Awards including Best Musical, and propelled by a spirited country/bluegrass score from songwriting icon Roger Miller, this high-energy journey provides a brilliantly theatrical view of American life in the 1800s.
"A rousing, high spirited show that sets your hands to clapping, your feet to stomping and your heart to rise within you!" - WCBS-TV
Big River: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn originally ran on Broadway 1985 - 1987 and as a revival in 2003. A successful national tour followed in 2004 - 2005.
