Got to see this production a year later and it was by far the most thought provoking play I've ever witness. Richard was so great in that role as Atticus and I loved also what everyone else brought to their respective roles! I really hope one day that I get to meet Richard after a play and tell him that. For what the play touched on, my husband and I talked for over an hour afterwords on how impactful the play was and got us really thinking about life currently and how this production plays into all of the political, racial, religious things that we still deal with to this day. Such a great play and good work! Great job guys!

Saw it in Richmond VA. Great play and great actors. Better than I had even hoped for.

I just saw the play - October, 2023 in Okla City. I honestly initially wanted to see the play mainly for Richard Thomas. But the entire cast and play itself was really wonderful. All really phenomenal actors - of course especially Richard. I’m really fortunate that I got to experience that!

Saw him in Costa Mesa, CA. Amazing performance.

I love him as 'John Boy'.

Here's hoping to see Richard on stage in late March, 2023 in Ft Lauderdale. Was an awesome surprise birthday present from my son-in-law and daughter last May! So excited! Re-reading the book before the play.

Richard Thomas is perfectly cast as Atticus Finch! Wish I could see it!

Saw Ed Harris in NYC and hope Richard Thomas is in the company when I see it in Orlando next year. We did see him in Twelve Angry Men and he was amazing.

He came to eat where I work. He is really one of the nicest person I ever met. He was so friendly with the staff. What a great actor.

[@BetteDavis19]

aw I love him! what kinds of stuff did he say?

[@josueromero2276]

@@BetteDavis19 he talked about his recent role on Ozark and the his performance on the theater.

[@BeanieScooter]

How great to read your post!

[@BetteDavis19]

I can't explain how much I love richard thomas & melanie!

[@65motowngirl]

What a perfect pick for the role. I’m hoping to get a friend willing to shell out the ticket price to see him in August when he comes to Nashvill. Richard Thomas is the draw. While I love the play. It’s only because of Richard Thomas that I find it worth my money to see it.

I know this is about the US tour, but I am very excited to the West End company who have just opened. I am also curious how the adaptation will work with British audiences, as it's a classic piece of American literature but less well known this side of the pond. I imagine it will be a bit like Hamilton where the story feels less personal and automatically emotive. But that allows the performances and production to really shine.

Please put cinderella on broadway in the philippines please😭

[@genesmiley9866]

I saw it. It was terrible. End of story.

I would have given a limb to have avoided watching this mess in St. Louis tonight. Bad writing and dubious acting. John-Boy ain’t Gregory Peck and probably not Jeff Daniels. Is there a Seinfeld episode on somewhere to get the stench out of my nose?
