The Trip to Bountiful
(Stephen Sondheim, 124 W. 43, extended through Sept. 1). Horton Foote's masterpiece,
finally revived on Broadway--it was last seen there in 1953--in an unforgettably excellent production starring Cicely Tyson and directed by Michael Wilson. I don't know when I've seen a more perfectly realized example of nontraditional casting (most of the actors are black). I've never been more deeply moved by a theatrical production of any kind (TT).
