NEW - SHOW BOAT - Talkin' Broadway's Review

Posted by:	T.B._Admin. 11:56 am EST 11/07/14

Matthew Murray takes a look at Show Boat: Enchantment washes over you like a ripple from the mighty Mississippi within the first seconds of the Show Boat concert that’s playing at Lincoln Center’s Avery Fisher Hall through tomorrow night. The instant the vast New York Philharmonic strikes the opening strains of the 1927 Oscar Hammerstein II–Jerome Kern musical’s overture — at once brassy and portentous, deathly deep but infinitely inviting — you know that you’re in the presence of a unique mating of material and presentation. It’s tough, if not outright impossible, to not want to be swept away for the next two hours. Then the show proper begins. And what do you know if the euphoria burns just as bright. . . .
