The Miracle Worker

Move over, Mary Poppins, there's a new governess in town. Actually, Alison Pill's one-note Annie Sullivan won't be any threat to Mary, and the revival of The Miracle Worker that just opened on Broadway last night is middling, despite some nice grace notes. I'm sorry, but if you can't bring in the hair-pulling and the fisticuffs, stay away from that play. As Helen Keller, Abigail Breslin is growing up nicely from Little Miss Sunshine though.
