Editorial Product Review: :Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein II's Showboat, based on Edna Ferber's 1926 novel, is a seminal American musical, the first to explore serious themes (most notably racism) and to truly integrate song with story and character. The plot follows three generations of a theatrical Mississippi riverboat family from the 1880s to the 1920s.

Editorial Product Review: :Ah, remember those good old days when father ruled the roost, keeping a tight rein on the money, the kids, and the docile wife?
