Local Favorite, Big River, Returns to Hale Centre Theatre  

Award-winning production brings 9,000 gallons of water to the stage

Yes! You read that right! They have over 9,000 gallons of water ON THE STAGE! Fantastic! In 2003, HCT received an International Theatrical award for extraordinary use of water in the production of Big River and they are bringing it back again.

“This wildly fun and energetic show will blow you out of the water,” said Sally Dietlein, HCT vice president and executive producer. “Between the rafts, the smooth bluegrass music and the thousands of gallons of water dumped on stage you’ll feel like you’re floating down the Mississippi with Huck and Jim. Bring a friend and bring a towel, because it’s going to be a wild ride!”

Big River premiered on Broadway on April 25, 1985 at the Eugene O’Neill Theatre and ran for more than 1000 performances and closed on September 20, 1987. The Broadway production was one of the most successful American musicals in the 1980s. The musical is based on Mark Twain’s 1884 classic novel about Huckleberry Finn’s wild adventure down the Mississippi river. The story was adapted by William Hauptman with music and lyrics by Roger Miller into an award-winning Broadway musical. Big River won seven Tony Awards, seven Drama Desk Awards and a Theatre World Award. The 2003 revival of Big River won an additional Tony Award for Tony Honors for Excellence in Theatre.

“Big River is full of intricate stage design, talented local actors and beautiful music,” said Dietlein. “We are privileged to have such talented professionals in our community and in our production crew as they worked tirelessly to make this show a true spectacle in musical theatre.”
