Description: A rambunctious kid and a runaway slave ply the Mississippi in this musical version of Mark Twain's masterpiece, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. DOWNRIVER misses none of the fun in Twain's greatest work, while illuminating its central themes of freedom and responsibility and providing meaty classic roles for its two leads.

Through hurtling steamboats, boyish pranks and a couple of crafty river rats named the King of France and the Duke of Bridgewater, Huck and Jim pursue their own precious American dreams while meeting a score of unforgettable characters in this mythic story of early 19th century America
