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).
