Big River

[E-beth]

Has anyone seen this story of Huck Finn and his slave/friend Jim? I was in it as the Widow. (I got to sing badly...it was the perfect role) I also was assistant scenic designer and we had to figure out a way to make a moving yet believeable-looking raft. On Broadway originally they actually built in a hydaulic system so they had a working water current right in the stage.

Big River is a great show. Ever seen it?

ive never seen Big River, but ive heard some of the music and it sounds really good. Thats cool that you were in/scenic designing it. they just had a revival of it on Broadway which was nominated for best revival of a musical, but it was really cool because in the revival they used deaf, hearing impared, and hearing actors, and i saw a few clips of it, and it was really amazing how they managed to make the diolouge, singing, and sign language flow together.
