After last year's "Les Miserables," Signature Theatre is at it again with a reinvention of a classic musical. This time it's Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein II's 1927 show based on the novel by Edna Ferber. If the pedigree isn't enough to persuade you to go, perhaps the dancing will. Or see it to find out how (or if) they get a boat on stage. The story spans the years 1880 to 1927 and details the lives of three generations of performers on a show boat that travels up and down the Mississippi River. Familiar tunes include "Ol' Man River" and "Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man." Directed by Eric Schaeffer, Signature's artistic director, and choreographed by Karma Camp.
