The touching American classic, THE TRIP TO BOUNTIFUL, tells the story of Carrie Watts, an elderly woman who dreams of returning to her small hometown of Bountiful, TX one last time, against the wishes of her overprotective son and domineering daughter-in-law.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR The Trip to Bountiful

Broadway Roundup: Cicely Tyson, Alan Cumming....
8 / 10

Start shining the Tony award for Cicely Tyson, who's just plain wonderful in The Trip To Bontiful, Horton Foote's play about an older lady who wants to return to the Texas town of her youth, remembering it as a place of fertility and goodness.

Review: Cicely Tyson's acting in 'Trip to Bountiful' is plentiful
7 / 10

Broadway for Cicely Tyson is clearly like riding a bike. Her last rendezvous in the rialto was in 'The Corn Is Green' in 1983, but you'd never know that 30 years had passed by her exquisitely understated performance in the revival of Horton Foote's 'The Trip to Bountiful'...This is Tyson's Carrie Watts, and not a false note is struck...It's a shame that the rest of the production, directed by Michael Wilson, one of Foote's most reliable interpreters, isn't up to Tyson's level. Gooding...is the weak link in the cast. What he brings in name recognition he takes away in inexperience.
