About
When it comes to music on the Mississippi river, the Cotton Blossom show boat is the place to go. When musical main attraction Julie Laverne and her husband are suddenly forced to leave the show, Cotton Blossom owner Andy Hawks' own daughter Magnolia takes centre stage. She soon falls madly in love with roguish gambler Gaylord Ravenal, and the two leave the Cotton Blossom on a honeymoon - only to enter into a tumultuous marriage.
Dementia Friendly Films are fun and social events for people living with dementia and their friends, family and carers.
Show Boat will have a short introduction by Tim Tubbs and sing along with Bill Scott before the screening, a tea and coffee break (refreshments are provided free of charge) and another quick sing before the second part of the film.
