* = Favourite song
UPDATE! I have now been to see an amateur production of Showboat. The sets
and costumes were fairly limited but the performances and singing were
excellent. I didn't have a clue about the storyline before I went, and
found it was excellent, at times very fun and also surprisingly moving at
others. I can see now why this is one of the classic musicals.
My favourite song of the night was 'Can't help lovin' dat man'. Here are
the songs and how much I enjoyed them:
1.Cotton blossom (9)
2.Where's the mate for me (8)
3.Make Believe (10)
4.Ol' Man River (10)
5.Can't help lovin' dat man (10)
6.Life upon the wicked stage (9)
7.Queenies ballyhoo (8)
8.You are love (9)
9.Why do I love you? (10)
10.Bill (8)
11.Goodbye my lady love (9)
12.After the ball (8)
