...comes from James Earl Jones, who has not had a part so well suited to his prodigious talents since The Great White Hope won him a Tony Award in 1969. The show originated in April 1985 at the Yale Repertory Theater, staged then as now by Y.R.T. Artistic Director Lloyd Richards. As his interpretation has ripened, Jones has found not only Troy Maxson's destructive fury but also his belly-shaking laughter, his lyric love of tall tales, his quicksilver charm, his stoic sense of duty and honor. & He manages to be at once real and of mythic proportions...

Starlight, which opened in London in 1984, comes from a glittering team: Director Trevor Nunn, Set Designer John Napier and Lighting Designer David Hersey, who mounted Nicholas Nickleby, plus Composer Lloyd Webber and Lyricist Richard Stilgoe, who had joined the former trio to devise Cats. In reconceiving the show for Broadway, the creators had some smart ideas: instead of a gloomy, abandoned train siding, the gaudy set now represents a panorama of the U.S., dotted with highlights a child might recognize, from the Statue of Liberty to the Golden Gate Bridge; the recorded narration too is now by a child...
