This being my favorite play, and since it is produced so sparingly, I would LOVE to see this back on Broadway. You can never have enough Thornton Wilder in your life. Anyone else a fan?
PS: Does anyone know anything about the musical version of this play? Is it any good? Also, is it true that the last revival (1975 I believe) only lasted 7 performances? What a shame...

A production Skin of Our Teeth played at the Delacorte starring John Goodman and Kristen Johnson just 7 years ago, so there wouldn't be another revival of it on Broadway anytime soon.
Classic Stage Company also revived it back in the mid-80s with Park Overall as Sabina.
I saw that 1975 revival with the wonderful Elizabeth Ashley and Alfred Drake and have fond memories of it, though I was rather young at the time. Not sure why it had such a short run.

SKIN OF OUR TEETH has been one of my favorite plays since I saw in on PBS when I was in middle school.
If you love the play...run out and get a copy of the BROADWAY THEATRE ARCHIVE recording with Sada Thompson and Blair Brown. GREAT! GREAT! GREAT! It was directed by Jack O'Brian.
