Big River
The heroic and insightful river journey shared by Mark Twain’s heroes Huck Finn and Jim comes to vivid life in this Tony-winning Best Musical with songs by country legend Roger Miller. The backdrops created for the MTWichita production beautifully suggest book illustrations from one of the first editions of Twain’s classic novel.
