Our Town - 3 Fun Facts
Jim Parsons has had a firecracker Broadway career, especially of late: he comes to Our Town after finishing his Tony-nominated run in Mother Play and has also been seen in The Boys in the Band, The Normal Heart, and An Act of God on Broadway.
Kenny Leon often takes classic works and gives them a modern lift. His recent productions of Purlie Victorious, A Raisin in the Son, Fences, and A Soldier’s Play all earned him Tony Award nominations, and he won for A Raisin in the Sun.
Our Town is indicative of a time when straight plays on Broadway employed larger casts; today, many are smaller. Some are solo shows or two-handers, but this production employs a large ensemble of 26 performers.
