"Variety reports that a revival of "Look Homeward, Angel" is on the way back to Broadway next fall by the producing team of Jeffrey Richards, Jerry Frankel and Steve Traxler.
Daniel Sullivan will direct an adaption written by David Auburn. Variety notes that the show will play a Shubert house with further information to come.
Look Homeward, Angel: A Story of the Buried life is a 1929 novel by Thomas Wolfe. It traces the coming of age of Eugene Gant in the small town of Altamont, North Carolina. Eliza, his mother, is a woman who likes to make "Deals"-in business and with people. With the proverbial iron hand in the velvet glove and almost equal concern, she runs "Dixieland," her seedy boarding house, an alcoholic husband, a daughter and two sons.
Look Homeward, Angel was adapted for a play of the same title in 1957 by Ketti Frings. It opened on Broadway at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre November 28, 1957, and ran for a total of 564 performances, closing on April 4, 1959..."

Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.
