  • Oh my god, I'm so excited that this is up!!!!! Do you happen to have Ms. McKee's performance of Bill?

  • I'm afraid not. It wasn't part of this particular PBS show.

  • THANK YOU SOO MUCH for posting this. could you let me k now how to obtain a copy of the full special? I was in grade 8 at the time of the broadcast and PBS to this day has never released it in stores

  • I found it on ebay. It's one of those copies made for awards 'for your consideration outstanding direction in a variety music program'

  • Excellent! You go Lonette!

  • This is PC Show Boat. Queenie's lyric was changed. She should have song "I even love him when his kisses have gin."

  • She is an example of perfect casting for a part. And her singing is such a great mix of broadway, pop, and soul.

  • I think this is the one ive been looking for, but the only scene i can remember was old man river, do you have that part?

  • I remember her from cotton club

  • I can't get past her hair....that's just bizarre. I saw this on B'way in the 90's and I was disappointed. I felt they went overboard on the PC stuff, but then switched things all around; having Parthy sing "Why Do I Love You" to the baby, the cut out a lot of Queenie's character, etc. After having seen the quintessential Paper Mill version from 1989, this was a disappointment when I saw it. I do love Rebecca Luker though! :)

  • @abbyroadme Me too and I agree - it is the quintessential American Musical.  Great songs. Great story. Relevant subject matter.

  • I saw this show on broadway twice when they did this revival. All these years later, it was one the best shows I have ever seen.

  • Can't help loving "Showboat "!

  • A great performance, another which I was lucky to have been able to see while it was on Broadway :)
