Stage, Managed: A TV-Star-Driven Our Town
Briefly

Cromer's staging of Our Town powerfully reignited the play's exploration of life's unnoticed beauty, delivering an emotional wallop that resonates even today.
Wilder’s intent was to highlight the mind's experiences rather than material aspects, yet Cromer’s kitchen scene infused a palpable sense of reality into the production.
Kenny Leon's Broadway production, in contrast, misses the quest for rediscovery that characterizes impactful interpretations, feeling more traditional than transformative.
The challenge of defining a ‘definitive’ production is evident as each director’s vision leaves an indelible mark that complicates future interpretations.
