I realized this morning that the link I posted yesterday is actually quite a spoiler. Even though it is a good review of the show (the headline is "'Night's' bright future"), it gives away the entire plot. So, if you haven't seen the movie and want to add to the suspense of the show, I'd wait to read the CC Times review until after you see it. Sorry not to mention this in my first post! Jon

Brian, I saw "Night of the Hunter" on Saturday night, and was quite impressed! Your performance was so powerful and, well...brilliant. You are just the ideal actor for the part of the preacher. In fact, the entire company was extremely well cast. I was especially taken by the little girl who plays Pearl (I'm sorry that I don't remember her name). It was amazing to see a child so young turn in such a complete performance. I don't agree with the Chronicle's view of the score...I thought it was ...

Thanks for the responses, and the Playbill link. Sounds like an interesting idea...I'll let you all know how it was in a few months!

I'm in the SF bay area, and I noticed an ad in the paper today for one of our regional theaters (The Willows Theatre). They are producing the musical "The Night of the Hunter" in the fall. This is a theater that generally does great work which often includes up and coming new musicals, so I'm intrigued that they would pick this show (I’m assuming it is based on the old movie by the same name?). Does anyone have any information about this show? I don't remember hearing of it on Broadway.
