	Theatre Mirror Reviews - "Showboat"
		Her luminous rendition of the chilling "Mis'ry's Comin' Aroun'" (which was cut from the original for being too operatic) sets the stage for the evil which is about to tear apart a riverboat family and change all their lives.
		The secondary characters in "Showboat" are so beautifully drawn that you miss them when the story leaves them behind: Queenie (Boston) cooks for the performers and is surrogate mother to the Captain's young daughter.
		The real star of "Showboat" though is Solomon-Glover, planting his feet way down into the stage to deliver that stirring anthem "Ol' Man River" which speaks to a need for survival and dignity in any age, especially our own.
