SOUTH PACIFIC
Kravis Center, Jan. 5-10
Bartlett Sher’s revival of the Rodgers and Hammerstein evergreen isn’t physically lavish so much as it is emotionally real, and always gloriously sung, which is something Richard Rodgers’ great score demands. Some Enchanted Evening indeed.

THE VOYSEY INHERITANCE
By Harley Granville-Barker, adapted by David Mamet
Caldwell Theatre, Nov. 8 to Dec. 13

Granville-Barker was a contemporary of Shaw’s, widely admired for his prefaces for Shakespeare’s plays and for his own innovations in staging and acting. This play, about the patriarch of a family investment company who reveals he’s been running a Ponzi scheme before Ponzi, was reconfigured by Mamet some years before Bernie Madoff, in what is becoming Mamet’s secondary career of paying tribute to the well-made plays of his theatrical forefathers, as in his production of Terence Rattigan’s The Browning Version.

BILLY CRYSTAL IN 700 SUNDAYS
Kravis Center, Dec. 3-6
The Tony Award-winning autobiographical one-man play by the comedian whom everybody seems to like. All about growing up in the ’50s and ’60s, watching Ed Sullivan, worshipping Mickey Mantle, the whole megillah. Should be as comforting as a bagel with a schmear.

BARBARA COOK
Kravis Center, Dec. 18
It’s just one woman on a stage, but Cook isn’t just any woman. Her career stretches back more than 50 years and includes such musicals as The Music Man, as well as a turbulent personal history. She can summon multitudes, and usually does, always offering much more than a random collection of show tunes.
