Based on an event that occurred near her hometown of Monroeville, Alabama in the 1930s, Harper Lee’s story of racial injustice and the destruction of childhood innocence centers on small-town lawyer and single father Atticus Finch.

Lee's original novel was published in 1960, winning the Pulitzer. The 1962 movie starred Gregory Peck. Although other stage productions have been produced, none has played Broadway.  This production orginally began rehearsals on September 10, 2018 and Previews on November 1, 2018 for an Opening on December 13, 2018. It went on hiatus, due to the COVID 19 restrictions, beginning March 12, 2020. It went back into Rehearsals on September 7, 2021 and resumed performances on October 5, 2021. A second hiatus, to change theatres (to the Belasco), began on January 17, 2022. It was announced in July 2022 that it would not return after all.
