Broadway overdosed on revivals this season, but this is one I wouldn’t want to give up. The Depression-era moppet, who first made the leap from comic strip to Broadway in 1977, is as cute as ever — and maybe a bit more timely, in the wake of another near Depression — in James Lapine’s brisk but grounded production. Lilla Crawford is the latest precociously talented stage tot to belt out “Tomorrow” and help FDR solve the banking crisis, but the real star is the wonderful Charles Strouse–Martin Charnin score, which is as easy to take and as hard to shake off as it was when we first heard it.
