In 1985, the musical adaptation of Mark Twain's epic "Huckleberry Finn" saga became the first show to go from La Jolla Playhouse to Broadway. Now "Big River" comes home again (or close to it), in a more intimate production at New Village Arts. And the Carlsbad company has fielded a strong cast for this soulful, gently funny and very American story of struggle and redemption.
