Broadway looks to Odets

Variety: "A high-profile revival of Odets' 1950 backstage drama 'The Country Girl,' with Mike Nichols helming a cast toplined by Morgan Freeman, Frances McDormand and Peter Gallagher, is only the latest mark of renewed interest in the scribe's work."

In some ways, shows like these are the reason people think Broadway is an industry deeply routed in its past. I can see the idea catching, however all its doing is attracting the same audience with the same ideals. If they want to broaden their horizons and gather more people, they are going to have to avoid revivals that revolve around 1960's fetishes.
