“Showboat’s real star is Cleveland Opera singer who plays Joe.  A commanding presence, with a broad chest, arms the size of tree trunks and a rich baritone, Boykin easily held the audience’s attention as he sang and reprised a rolling, almost impossibly low, rendition of Ol’ Man River.”

– “Whenever I hear “Ol’ Man River,” Joe’s big song, I hear echoes in my head of Paul Roberson and William Warfield- two great basses I have heard in the role. Now I will hear Boykin’s stunning bass voice. He is superb.”
