Story
In the middle of a heat wave in 1930's Texas, when everyone is longing for rain, or a breeze, Lizzie Curry is on the verge of becoming a hopeless old maid. Her wit, intelligence and skills as a homemaker can't make up for the fact that she can't find true love. Even the town sheriff, for whom she harbors a secret yen, won't take a chance. However, when a charismatic rainmaker named Starbuck enters the town and her family's life, Lizzie's world is turned upside down.
Four-time Tony winner Audra McDonald returns to the Broadway stage to play Lizzie Curry, her first Broadway appearance since her Tony-winning portrayal of Ruth in A Raisin in the Sun.
