Big River: The Adventures of Hucklberry Finn
BIG RIVER

Based on Mark Twain’s incredible story of Huckleberry Finn and with songs by country music legend Roger Miller (“King of the Road,” “Dang Me”), this family-friendly, Tony Award®-winning musical travels back in time to 1840s Missouri to tell the epic tale of an outcast boy’s adventure of self-discovery. Escaping his abusive, drunken father, Huck joins up with Jim, a runaway slave. Together they sail their small raft down the mighty Mississippi River towards freedom and a better life, using all their wits to outsmart the con artists, slave hunters and gun-toting farmers they encounter along the way.

“Dramatic drive, humor and a melodic score…an all-family entertainment.”
—The New York Times

Co-presented with Victoria Theatre Association.
