Disclosure: This post is written in collaboration with Broadway in Detroit
If you’ve been thinking about seeing a Broadway in Detroit show but aren’t quite sold on musicals, I’ve got great news: Aaron Sorkin’s new play, To Kill a Mockingbird, visits Detroit this March, and I’ve got all the details on this well-known story on its tour across North America.
To Kill a Mockingbird in Detroit: Show Details
Set in Alabama in 1934, Harper Lee’s enduring story of racial injustice and childhood innocence centers on small-town lawyer, Atticus Finch. To Kill a Mockingbird’s cast of characters includes Atticus’s daughter, Scout, her brother, Jem, their housekeeper and caretaker, Calpurnia, their visiting friend Dill, and a mysterious neighbor, the reclusive Arthur “Boo” Radley.
Academy Award winner Aaron Sorkin’s new play, directed by Tony Award winner Bartlett Sher and based on Harper Lee’s classic novel, is currently on a multi-year national tour across North America. Emmy Award-winning actor Richard Thomas is confirmed to star as Atticus Finch for the complete third touring season, including the Detroit engagement at the Fisher Theatre March 5–17.
Richard Thomas as Atticus Finch has been embraced by critics and audiences alike. His performance has been called “Easily the most powerful work I’ve seen from Richard Thomas” (BWW Charlotte), “A memorable performance rarely seen in a touring Broadway production” (Curtain Up Phoenix), and “Sheer perfection – this role was made to be played by Thomas” (Around the Town Chicago). The Buffalo News proclaims “Both modestly human and divinely heroic. All rise for Richard Thomas,” and the Dallas Voice declares “Richard Thomas as Atticus Finch is at the height of his career.”
Since its tour launch in March 2022, the First National Tour of To Kill a Mockingbird has set a record as the highest-grossing play ever to tour North America. It has played more than 500 performances in 44 cities, been seen by more than 1 million theatergoers, and hailed as “A must-see” (Northwest Herald, Chicago), “The most powerful telling of this story you’ll ever experience” (St. Paul Pioneer-Press) and “Amazing – a perfect 10!” (KOA News Radio, Denver).
To Kill a Mockingbird is designed by Miriam Buether, with costumes by Ann Roth, lighting by Jennifer Tipton, sound by Scott Lehrer and an original score by Adam Guettel. Musical direction is by Kimberly Grigsby, hair and wig design by Campbell Young Associates, casting by The Telsey Office, and design adaptation and supervision by Edward Pierce. The national tour is produced by Barry Diller.
