The Huntington's production features a homegrown cast and brings Wilder's masterpiece home to Boston on its 75th anniversary. It inaugurates the Huntington's use of the intimate, 250-seat Roberts Studio Theatre in the Huntington's Calderwood Pavilion at the BCA. This production is supported by Grand Patron Boston University, Season Sponsors Carol G. Deane and J. David Wimberly, and Production Sponsors Judi and Douglas Krupp.

Cromer's concept has been hailed as the Our Town of a generation. It is recognized for being revelatory yet faithful and is renowned for its transparent stagecraft, sensory experience, and the audience's proximity to the actors. Runs in Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles generated widespread critical and audience acclaim. Honored with the 2009 Obie Award for Directing and 2009 Lucille Lortel Awards for Best Revival and Direction, the Off Broadway mounting ran for more than 600 performances, making it the longest-running production in the history of the play.
