Why see To Kill A Mockingbird?
The Broadway Hit On Tour!
Oscar winner Aaron Sorkin brings his Broadway smash hit out on tour! Opening to much critical acclaim back in 2018, To Kill A Mockingbird tells the story of a black man accused of rape in pre-civil rights era Alabama and the noble lawyer who defends him. Directed by the iconic, and Tony-winning Barlett Sher, witness the tale of an era come to life on stage!
A portrait of simmering racial tension in a small southern town, To Kill a Mockingbird is considered one of the greatest American novels ever written. In today's current climate, its themes of prejudice and inequality seem just as prescient, while the book's steadfast lawyer Atticus Finch remains the gold-standard for noble heroes.
What Is To Kill A Mockingbird About?
Told through the eyes of 13-year-old Scout, Mockingbird is set in the pre-civil rights era Deep South of the 1930s. When local black man Tom Robinson is accused of raping a white girl, Scout's lawyer father Atticus Finch takes on the case, determined to try and give Tom a fair trial. With his decision to defend Tom, Atticus finds himself ostracised from the community, and the lives of his family put into danger. As the trial approaches, Atticus must choose whether to buckle under the mounting pressure or to stand his ground and fight for what is right.

Excellent show, excellently performed
Saw the show at the Kennedy Center this week, and cannot say enough good things.
Sorkin's adaptation works well, and serves to point up certain parallels to today's social division, without wallowing in "wokeness," which would have been less effective.
Richard Thomas is a great fit as Atticus, and like the show itself seems timeless. Supporting cast is fabulous, with Tom Robinson, Mayella, her (despicable) father, the sheriff, and the judge all particularly notable.
The only blemish for me was the lighting, which is to say the lack thereof. It's not that easy to see in a venue as large as the Opera House, so the dim lighting -- which had the feel of a 40-watt bulb when 100 watts was needed -- left me perplexed.
All in all, however, a great evening of theater. Highly recommend!

What a show a must see.....
The play was delightful, funny in spots and dead serious in others. The Paramount theater in Seattle was a great backdrop for the play. Richard Thomas as Atticus Finch was outstanding and the actress that played Scout was just awesome. The play is timeless and is just as powerful today as 50 years ago. Very well done indeed. ...

Venue not so good
The Paramount needs to do something about its noisy filtration/air conditioning system. The mechanical noise (sounded like cars on an overpass) coming from the rear of house left made it impossible to hear more than about 80% of the dialogue. We were in the middle front of the second mezzanine and others noted this as well. ... Read more
