On either side of "SHOWBOAT," two prominent vertical elements draw attention to additional information about the revival. The left side boasts a list of notable individuals involved in various aspects of the show's production, like music by Oscar Hammerstein II and costumes by Stanley Simmons.

The right side of "SHOWBOAT" is adorned with a colorful graphic that represents riverboat smokestacks topped with flags—a fitting visual motif for this theatrical production. Above these elements, in red text on a black background, it states "Music Theater of Lincoln Center," indicating the organization behind the revival. The phrase "Exciting New Production" adds to the poster's dynamic appeal.

3/3 orchestral pieces we played at #Cowley #Orchestra this Wednesday: This week's musical was #Showboat by #JeromeKern - also a favourite we play around once per term. There are five selections left which we didn't get round to this week. Next week the conductors are back in charge but maybe they'll take on one of my leftovers in which case I'll highlight thoses as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaMtmxVs1VE #Oxford

New on Instagram: From the family archives:
My great great grandfather took this photo in 1917 when an ice storm in my hometown of Mount Vernon, IN destroyed THE Cotton Blossom.
It’s sitting at the bottom of the Ohio River still. #showboat #cottonblossom https://instagr.am/p/CnH7qbYOvhn/
You and me, we sweat & strain
Body all achin' & racked w/ pain
Tote that barge & lift that bail
You get a little grit
and you land in jail
I get weary & sick of tryin'
I'm tired of livin'
but I'm scared of dyin'
#ShowBoat prem 27 Dec 1927
at Ziegfeld Theatre
key event in the history of
American musical theatre.
"Radical departure
in musical storytelling,
marrying spectacle w/ seriousness"
I changed SOME of the lyrics
(as recommended by Robeson).

![She [Ava Gardner] was cast as Julie LaVerne, a cabaret singer aboard the traveling show boat Cotton Blossom whose life takes a hard turn when it is revealed she is part black and married to a white man. It would have been an ideal part for Ava's friend Lena Horne, the talented black actress and singer who had performed Julie's songs at the end of Till the Clouds Roll By. But Hollywood was still mired in racism as potent as that which existed in the late nineteenth century, when Show Boat takes place.](https://files.mastodon.social/cache/media_attachments/files/115/401/404/750/303/991/original/453d3505d3e00af0.jpeg)
