About the show:

Published in 1960, Harper Lee\\u2019s debut novel To Kill a Mockingbird was an immediate and astonishing success. It won the Pulitzer Prize and quickly became a global phenomenon, with more than 50 million copies in print to date. Considered one of the great classics of modern American literature, the novel has never been out of print since its original publication 57 years ago.

Inspired by Lee\\u2019s own childhood in Alabama, To Kill a Mockingbird features one of literature\\u2019s towering symbols of integrity and righteousness in the character of Atticus Finch, based on Lee\\u2019s own father. The character of Scout, based on Lee herself, has come to define youthful innocence\\u2014and its inevitable loss\\u2014for generation after generation of readers around the world.

In a Library of Congress survey on books that have most affected people\\u2019s lives, To Kill a Mockingbird was second only to the Bible. In 1999, American librarians named it the \\u201cBest Novel of the Twentieth Century.\\u201d\\xa0 Now, for the first time ever, Harper Lee\\u2019s open-hearted dissection of justice and tolerance in the American South is brought vividly to life on the Broadway stage.
