A revival of The Sound of Music and of Aaron Sorkin’s A Few Good Men will be part of Lincoln Center Theater’s upcoming Broadway season.
Bradley Whitford and Tom Blyth will star in A Few Good Men, which will be directed by Michael Arden (The Lost Boys, Maybe Happy Ending). Jasmine Amy Rogers will star in The Sound of Music, marking the first Broadway revival in close to 30 years. Lincoln Center’s Artistic Director Lear deBessonet will direct, and Christopher Gattelli will choreograph.
Sorkin’s A Few Good Men premiered in 1989, marking his first breakout project before The West Wing and more. The courtroom drama, which was later adapted into a feature film, sees military lawyer Daniel Kaffee (Blyth) assigned to defend two young Marines who are accused of murder. While he initially wants to seek a plea bargain for both, he finds they may be at the center of a cover-up.
This marks the Broadway debut for Blyth, who is known for his role as Coriolanus Snow in The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes. Whitford, known for his role on The West Wing and more, made his Broadway debut in the original cast of A Few Good Men, where he understudied and then took over the role of Kaffee.
The play begins performances at the Vivian Beaumont Theater on Oct. 8, ahead of an Oct. 29 opening.
