A muddled casting controversy and the resignation of a prominent director no doubt diverted some early public and press attention from the Roundabout Theatre Company’s revival of Arthur Miller’s All My Sons, but this Broadway production, opening tonight, can handle whatever comes its way. When all’s said and done, Jack O’Brien’s knock-you-from-behind staging is as powerful and sturdy as Miller’s post-war classic itself.
And in a shattering performance that adds yet another layer to her quietly remarkable career, Annette Bening finds grace notes in the role of the grieving Gold Star mother that brings the character to vivid, brutalized life.
Co-starring Tracy Letts (August: Osage County) and Benjamin Walker (Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson), All My Sons is typically considered Miller’s stepping stone to, or perhaps heralding of, the masterpieces: 1949’s Death of a Salesman, 1953’s The Crucible and 1955’s A View From The Bridge.

Benjamin Walker, a Broadway star since his 2010 breakthrough in Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson, will join Annette Bening and Tracy Letts in the Roundabout Theater Company’s upcoming revival of Arthur Miller’s All My Sons.
Normally, that casting alone would garner attention in the theater community. But today’s casting announcement by the Roundabout also included confirmation that one – though not both – of the casting choices over which previous director Gregory Mosher resigned in December had been fulfilled.
Nearly two months after Mosher quit the production over disagreements about color-blind casting, Shades of Blue‘s Hampton Fluker, widely believed to be one of the actors Mosher wanted, will indeed play George Deever, a traditionally white character (Fluker is black) in the revival now being directed by Jack O’Brien, who took over when Mosher resigned over a casting disagreement with Rebecca Miller, who runs the estate of her father Arthur Miller.

It now looks like the final piece of the puzzle has fallen into place, as they have awarded the role of Christian to the very excellent Jason Patric. Here is the FX press release, which includes a nice bit of info about the show as well as about Mr. Patric:
Film and stage star Jason Patric has signed on to star as “Christian Walker” in the FX drama series pilot Powers, based on the award-winning comic and graphic novel series by Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming.

Jason Patric, 44, is known for his raw performances in indie films like Rush, After Dark, My Sweet, Narc, and Your Friends and Neighbors — not to mention his early vampy role in The Lost Boys. He’s currently starring in That Championship Season on Broadway, along with Brian Cox, Jim Gaffigan, Chris Noth and Kiefer Sutherland. The Pulitzer-winning play, about members of a winning basketball team reuniting after 20 years, was written by Patric’s late father, Jason Miller, and won a 1973 Pulitzer Prize.

Kiefer Sutherland and Chris Noth's Broadway revival of That Championship Season has left critics unimpressed following its official opening on Sunday.
The Jason Miller play, centred on four former high school basketball players who meet up with their coach 20 years on, originally debuted at an off-Broadway theatre in 1972, and went on to scoop a Tony Award for Best Play and a Pulitzer Prize the following year.
It emerged last year that director Gregory Mosher would helm a revival of the show, starring Sex and the City actor Noth and 24's Sutherland in his Broadway debut - but the reboot has not impressed reviewers.
The New York Times' chief theatre critic Ben Brantley branded it "extroverted", "star-swollen", and dated, adding: "Gregory Mosher's production... seems to be shouting at you."
Bloomberg's Jeremy Gerard brushed off the show as an "irony-free revival", and slammed Noth's performance, writing, "Mosher hasn't coaxed much more than whining and empty bluster from his cast. Hardest to take is Noth, who fills the theatre with Serious Acting, entailing much grimacing and mangling of words".
Scott Brown, writing in New York magazine, describes the play as "dog-eared", "a season or 40 out of date", with a "distinct cologne of embalming fluid", and damns the second half of the show as "interminable".
But USA Today's Elysa Gardner took some positives from the performance, insisting That Championship Season is "a capably crafted and solidly acted show".

The CBS broadcast will also have an excuse to present a production number from his show even though it didn’t snag a nomination for Best Revival of a Musical.

One has to hand it to the Tony nominators: They didn't follow conventional wisdom nor did they particularly pay heed to commercial considerations.
Indeed, some of the biggest noms went to shows that are either long gone ("Ragtime," "Finian's Rainbow," "In the Next Room, or the Vibrator Play," "Time Stands Still") or lagging at the boxoffice ("Fela!" "Memphis," "Next Fall," "Million Dollar Quartet").
The biggest surprises Tuesday were the omissions.
"The Addams Family," the most successful new musical of the season, was thoroughly dissed, failing to get noms for best musical, for its stars Nathan Lane or Bebe Neuwirth, or even for its production design. And though it did get one for original score, that's not exactly a coup in a season in which only one other musical, "Memphis," even had one. The category had to be embarrassingly filled out with the forgettable music from "Enron" and Branford Marsalis' incidental music for "Fences.

Fela!, about the life of revered African world music star Fela Kuti, will go up against Green Day's American Idiot, Memphis, and Million Dollar Quartet in the coveted Best Musical category at the 64th annual prizegiving, which honours the best on Broadway.

Not even a bomb scare in Times Square can put a damper on the close of the Broadway season. Nominations for the Tony Awards will be announced tomorrow morning and look for the awards to recognize some -- though not all -- of the celeb-filled shows that have dominated the Great White Way's box office this year. Sorry, Hugh Jackman and Daniel Craig. You may have sold out your limited run in the cop drama A Steady Rain last fall, but we can't picture you in the Tony nominee lineup this year. However, you can expect director Kenny Leon's...

The critically-acclaimed Broadway production of Arthur Miller's A View From The Bridge starring Liev Schreiber and Scarlett Johansson directed by Gregory Mosher recouped its entire investment as of Monday, March 8. The limited run has only 4 weeks left before it must end on Sunday, April 4. The 14-week engagement began performances December 28, 2009 and opened January 24, 2010 at the Cort Theatre (138 West 48th Street).

Liev Schreiber had a busy first half of 2009, appearing in two major theatrical release: "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" and "Taking Woodstock." The back half of the year seemed quieter, but that's only if you focus solely on the actor's film career. Schreiber is also an accomplished stage actor; he picked up a Tony in 2005 for his performance in "Glengarry Glen Ross" and was in the running for another for his star performance in "Talk Radio."
He was busy late last year preparing for his latest role, a Broadway revival of Arthur Miller's "A View from the Bridge," directed by Gregory Mosher, in which he shares the stage with the lovely and talented Scarlett Johansson. MTV's Josh Horowitz got a chance to chat with Schreiber recently about his latest stage role, and the thrill of stepping into such an accomplished playwright's world.

Hollywood comes to the Brooklyn docks with Johansson and Schrieber in Gregory Mosher's revival of A View from the Bridge, but the production fails to pack a punch, writes Alexis Soloski
America: land of the free, home of the abiding recession, the weakened dollar, and an unemployment rate hovering near 10%. Arthur Miller's A View from the Bridge takes place in a more prosperous era – the postwar boom of the 1950s. Yet the latest Broadway revival, directed by Gregory Mosher, seems to have absorbed some of the current economic malaise. The scenery looks to have been constructed out ofcrispbread; the lights operate at low-wattage; the cast, which includes Liev Schreiber and Scarlett Johansson, labour vigorously for middling returns. At one point, Rodolpho (Morgan Spector), a newly arrived immigrant, declares expansively, "I want to be an American so I can work!" Yet this show finds everyone underemployed.

Liev Schreiber and Scarlett Johansson were together in NYC this morning for a photo call in support of their upcoming Broadway show, A View From The Bridge. He's an old pro when it comes to appearing on the Great White Way, while this production marks Scarlett's debut. She's taking a few months off from her big screen career and her duties promoting Mango to focus on the theater, and being in the Big Apple has the added bonus of her being able to spend some quality time at home with husband Ryan. He was spotted running errands solo yesterday, making ladies old and young swoon with his gentlemanly manners. View 10 Photos › To see more from the event, just read more.
