just saw the current Broadway revival and thought it was a wonderful production. For me it stacks up favorably against the 1984 PBS presentation. Annaleigh Ashford is the brightest young star Broadway has produced since Kristin Chenoweth lit up the stage in "Charlie Brown." She may even get a Tony nomination in a very crowded field. James Earl Jones had warmth,gravitas and sly humor and it's unlike anything he's ever done before. Great to see Richard Thomas and Elizabeth Ashley on stage too. This show just makes you feel happy. Question: were those rubber snakes in the glass case? they moved quite persuasively.
