Richard plays his part amazingly, as he always does. To be honest, I didn’t even think of his age. He looks young for his age, although with theater I don’t really think it matters. Mary Martin played Peter Pan way beyond the age he was supposed to be and did it convincingly. That’s the MAGIC of the stage.

I don't know how Richard Thomas looks these days but Atticus Finch was supposed to be in his 50's with young children. Richard is in his early 70's. Maybe he is lasting well enough to pass it off, or the make up department could work their magic. How did he look ? Convincing ? Richard Thomas looks great, and his performance was very powerful.

TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD will be at The Tennessee Theatre next Spring,I hope Richard Thomas is in it,even if he wasn't in it,I would want to go any way. Besides To Kill A Mockingbird, there are several plays and musicals for the 2023 and 2024 season.One of them is Wicked. My sister Robin is planning on getting season tickets for both of us.

Was supposed to see it last Saturday. But the person I was going with ended up having a conflict with the date. And I thought about how much those tickets cost. So I turned them in and someone bought them. Just as well as I was a bit under the weather that day and wouldn’t have enjoyed the play. still feel bad about not seeing it, however. Hopefully they will eventually show the play on television.

I just checked the website. It looks as if the tour got extended. It was set to end this year. So far it looks as if Richard Thomas is going to continue as Atticus Finch! Hope you can see it. It is wonderful!

After watching the interview that Easton posted it is obvious that Richard is still retaining his looks. Could easily pass for someone in their 50's. Lucky bugger.

The show is coming to Indianapolis in January… I’m an hour away, so I’m hoping to go see the show.
Tickets are not on sale yet…

I really enjoyed it.It was both serious and funny.Richard Thomas was supord playing Atticus Finch,as my sister and were heading home, we both thought Richard Thomas hadn't changed since The Waltons.I thought everyone else done a supord in their roles.I thought the ones that played Scout,Jen and Dils done a great narrated. Mary Barham who played Scout in the movie was in it,she played an old woman.I told my sister that our Mom would have liked to have saw it.For anyone who hasn't saw it yet,you need to go,look up To Kill A Mockingbird and you can see if it going to be near you.The next one Robin and I will be seeing is Beetlejuice which will be in June,has anyone ever saw the movie or on stage if so can you tell me about it.I almost forgot while we were in Lobby my sister took a picture of me with my ticket of The sign of To Kill Mockingbird.

I forgot something I was to post in the I just posted,I think To Kill A Mockingbird would make a good tv movie with Richard Thomas as Atticus Finch or the play with the original cast members,I think it would be good on PBS.
