To Kill a Mockingbird’ Is Headed to Broadway

The producer Scott Rudin has acquired stage adaptation rights for “To Kill a Mockingbird” and has hired the screenwriter Aaron Sorkin to adapt the story. Barlett Sher, who won a Tony Award for his revival of the musical “South Pacific,” will direct the play, which is scheduled for the 2017-18 season.

But the 1962 film, with an absolutely stellar cast, has got to be a definitive performance.

I cannot watch that film without tearing up.
"Hey! Boo?" That scene always does it to me.
