This colorful program was for the revival of "Show Boat" on the Broadway stage in 1946. A large red and white striped awning at the top supports a large white banner with the text "Kern and Hammerstein's new production of Show Boat Music by Jerome Kern Book and Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II Based on the novel by Edna Ferber Staged by Hassard Short" A large white boat with a red lettered "Cotton Blossom" banner on the side floats near the green land with two women, a captain, a gambler and African-American roustabouts waiting for the craft. The back of the program is bright red. A large white cartouche in the center carries enthusiastic reviews of the production. Inside is a reprint of an article about the show from the New York Times, biographies of Kern, Hammerstein, Ferber, Short, several black and white photos of the production, short biographies of the actors and actresses, and similar information about the technical people associated with the show. Nowhere on the piece is there a date. From outside sources: the show opened January 5, 1946 for a run of 418 performances.Collection
