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 :)
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.
