‘Big River’ heads to Broadway
“Big River” is rolling on to Broadway. The Deaf West Theatre production of the Huckleberry Finn musical is slated to open July 17 at the 740-seat American Airlines Theatre, playing through Oct. 5.
It will be a co-production by Roundabout Theatre and Deaf West, the company based in a 90-seat North Hollywood space, where the production originated in 2001.
Last fall, the production played the Mark Taper Forum, and the new production will be “in association with” the Taper.
