Amazing show and songs!!! I saw the Deaf West theatre's production of big river and loved it!!! I wish I could have seen it on broadway, but I hadn't been born yet. Best musical ever!!!
Love this musical!! We did this on my senior year of high school. And always still loved it. I downloaded the soundtrack on iTunes of all places! The song that had and will always get me the most is when Jim sing "Free at Last". That song wad sung for my best friend at his funeral a year after we graduated and after actually when we did this play. It was a reunion of my class that we all didn't want to have.
The skinny chap at 0:41 is Rene Auberjonois (you can also see him at the end, front row, center.) He was Odo on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, among many other roles.
Nothing like the original. I did the national tour with Michael Greif as director, same choreography, Michael Rafter as musical director...Carolee Carmello as Mary Jane, Romain Fruge as Huck, Michael Calkins as the duke...can you imagine? I watched it as dance captain for 12 months...they never let me down(except for one unprofessional King). Hi anyone out there from that show!! "You don't know what you got till it's gone"
Thanks for posting this! It's incredible to see it, after all of those years. It's also kind of sad that I'll never be able to see the original broadway production of it though. Very cool.
This can't be from a stage performance, or is it? Was it a movie?

I remember the original having John Goodman and Rene Auberjonois in it. But did it have William Katz?

What an incredibly beautiful music. I always forget how good it is until I start listening to any one of its songs.
