The University of Delaware Office of Alumni and University Relations is accepting reservations for a bus trip to see Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein's musical, Show Boat, on Sunday, June 14, at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.
Buses will leave from the Milford Shopping Center at 10:30 a.m. Tickets cost $75 and include transportation and show ticket. Participants should bring lunch or a snack for the bus ride. After the show, buses will stop at Morrison's Cafeteria in Annapolis.
More than 70 years old, Showboat covers one of the most important eras in American history and spans four decades to tell the romantic story of the Hawks family and their troupe of actors. Today, the cast includes over 60 actors who sing unforgettable tunes, such as "Ol' Man River," "Only Make Believe" and "You Are Love."
Edwin Wilson of the Wall Street Journal calls Show Boat, "A lavish production...as expansive as the Mississippi itself...500 costumes... scenery and lighting that capture the grit of stevedores on the docks, the escapism of show business and the lovely moments of hoped-for romance."
For credit card reservations, call 855-1620, or send a check, made payable to University of Delaware, to: University of Delaware, P.O. Box 660, Georgetown, DE 19947. For more information, call 735-8200 in Dover or 855-1620 in Georgetown.
