The song Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man is associated with which Broadway show?

• A. Show Boat
• B. No, No, Nanette
• C. The Jazz Singer
• D. West Side Story

Answer: (A)

Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man is a torch song built into the fabric of Show Boat, the landmark Broadway musical by Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein II. The number is sung by Julie La Verne and its emotional core—a love that clashes with social expectations—embodies the show’s exploration of romance and hardship along the Mississippi. That clear, direct association with Show Boat is why it’s the correct match. The other options refer to different works: No, No, Nanette is a lighter 1925 musical known for songs like Tea for Two, West Side Story is a 1957 musical with songs such as Maria and Tonight, and The Jazz Singer is a film rather than a Broadway show.
