Prince's 1994 production earned Show Boat its longest Broadway run with 947 performances. After its initial run, Show Boat returned to Broadway no less than six times: in 19 at the Ziegfeld Theatre in 19 at New York City Center in 1983 at the Uris (Gershwin) Theatre featuring Donald O'Connor as Cap'n Andy and in 1994, again at the Gershwin, under the direction of Harold Prince. In 1951, MGM released a full-color film adaptation, using many of the songs from the stage adaptation but reworking much of the plot. In 1936, Universal Studios released a film adaptation of the musical featuring Irene Dunne, Allan Jones, Hattie McDaniel and Paul Robeson. The show was a great critical and popular success, running for a total of 572 performances. Show Boat opened on Broadway at the Ziegfeld Theatre on December 27, 1927.
