Big River
Music & Lyrics by Roger Miller
Book by William Hauptman

August 11 - September 16, 2006

Join Huck Finn for a rollicking musical Americana adventure down the Mississippi in Roger Miller's beloved musical filled with lush ballads and foot-stomping folk, country, and bluegrass tunes. Based on The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, one of the greatest creations in American fiction, this tale of adventure and self-discovery begins on a raft on the Mississippi River in the 1840s, where Huck, escaping from his drunken father, meets up with Jim, a runaway slave. The story of their journey downstream is an American classic that captures the rhythms, sounds, and spirit of life on the big river. A timeless tale and delight for every member of the family. First time in Franklin!
