DID YOU KNOW?

The original Broadway production of "Big River" ran from April 25, 1985, to Sept. 20, 1987. It garnered seven Tony Awards and was nominated for three more. Its 2003 revival won one Tony and was nominated for two others.

If your favorite Broadway musical doesn't include a song about the dreaded nonesuch, if it doesn't include a salute to a hog and if it's not the musical version of a Mark Twain book you had to read in high school, then it's not "Big River."
