The Trip to Bountiful at Cutler Majestic Theatre

One of Broadway's most loved shows of 2013, The Trip to Bountiful, stars Cicely Tyson and Vanessa Williams -- the same pair who appeared in the TV film version earlier this year. Tyson and Williams both also headlined the Broadway production, which earned Tyson every major theatrical award, including the Tony. The Trip to Bountiful has a simple, relatable plot that's both heart-wrenching and inspiring: A spry widow living in a cramped apartment with her watchful son and daughter-in-law sneaks off on a secret journey to her beloved hometown of Bountiful. What starts as an ordinary trip becomes a life-changing journey. This hit Broadway production -- a revival of the original 1954 production -- inspired The Wall Street Journal's theater critic Terry Teachout to say, "I've never been more deeply moved by a theatrical production of any kind."
