Opening Broadway's Estate Sale

Opening Broadway's Estate Sale

This evening, the show that is arguably the most anticipated play to transfer to Broadway this season -- Horton Foote's acclaimed Off-Broadway hit from last fall Dividing The Estate -- opens this evening at the Booth Theatre.

Presented by Lincoln Center Theatre (a "little" revival of a rarely seen musical continues to grace its stages), the Michael Wilson-helmed production includes much of the original cast, including such marquee names as Elizabeth Ashley, Hallie Foote, Arthur French, Penny Fuller and Gerald McRaney. The cast also includes Devon Abner, Pat Bowie, James DeMarse, Virginia Kull, Maggie Lacey, Nicole Lowrance, Jenny Dare Paulin and Keiana Richard.

Will Dividing The Estate unite critics in praising the show once again? Find out tomorrow as I provide my critics' capsule.

This is Steve On Broadway (SOB).
