Final Performances Of A View From The Bridge

That's right theatre fans. You only have thirteen more chances to see the critically acclaimed revival of Arthur Miller's A View From The Bridge. Now as a ticket broker we usually get the chance to see all the new shows before they open. That way when you call and ask our advice on what or what not to see we can give our expert opinion. Well because A View From The Bridge was so popular we never got a chance to see it. Bad for us but good for the producer's of the show who are reaping the benefits. Now for those of you who didn't get a chance to see this classic drama it's not too late. Good seats are still available thru April 4. Next up at the Cort Theatre is the revival of Fences starring my favorite actor Mr. Denzel Washington. Trust me. I am not going to miss that. Even if I have to buy a ticket myself.

A View From The Bridge:Broadway's Newest Hit

That's right theatre fans. Broadway finally has it's first hit of the season. Yes I know that a A Little Night Music is one of Broadway's top shows. That is a musical. I am taking about Broadway's most successful play A View From The Bridge. The show which stars Liev Schreiber and Scarlett Johansson received rave reviews and is constantly one of Broadway's highest grossing shows week after week. Being in the business that we are in we are frequently invited to see the new shows during it's preview period. That way we can give our opinion about the show when people call. Well here we are almost three months into the run and I still haven't seen it. That's how popular it is.Now that doesn't mean you can't get tickets. The good thing is that the Cort Theatre which houses the show is one of the smallest theatres on Broadway. That means there is not a bad seat in the house. By the way the show is only running thru April 4. Get your tickets to see A View From The Bridge On Broadway. It is one of the theatre's greatest plays.

A View From The Bridge To Open This Sunday

One of this season's most highly anticipated shows and one that I personally am dying to see is Arthur Miller's A View From The Bridge. This new revival which was last seen in 1998 first premiered on Broadway in 1955 and became of Arthur Miller's most critically acclaimed plays. Previews for this production which began on December of last year stars Tony winner Liev Schreiber and Scarlett Johansson who is making her Broadway debut. Ticket sales have been strong and if the reviews are good expect this to be one hot ticket. Just a reminder. The show is only selling tickets thru April 4th so don't wait. Get your tickets to see A View From The Bridge on Broadway. It is one of Broadway's finest.

The Season Ahead Part One

Well now that 2009 is behind us it's time to look ahead to the second part of the 2009-2010 Broadway season. As of now there are fifteen shows set to open between now and the end of April. Let's take a look at a few of them.

Present Laughter(Opens January 21)This new revival of one of Noel Coward's most well know plays began previews over the weekend at the American Airline's Theatre and stars four-time Tony nominee Victor Garber. The show was last revived on Broadway back in 1996 with Tony winner Frank Langella. The Roundabout Theatre Company hasn't had a hit in a few years. Will this be the one to get them out of their creative slump? We will soon find out.

A View From The Bridge(Opens January 24)I cannot wait to see this show. In fact my boss and I were just talking about it this morning. He loves Scarlet Johannson. Don't tell his wife. I saw the the 1998 revival and thoroughly enjoyed it. Playing the tortured Eddie Carbone is Tony Award winner Liev Schreiber. He is a wonderful stage actor and I can not wait to see what he brings to this iconic stage role. The show is only scheduled to play thru April 4 so get your tickets to what is sure to be one of the big hits of the season.

Time Stands Still(Opens January 28)This new play by Donald Margulies is being produced by the Manhattan Theatre Club. Like the Roundabout they have unfortunately had more misses than hits the last few years. The good news is they have an outstanding cast featuring Broadway veterans Laura Linney and Brian D'Arcy James. Rounding out the cast are film star Alicia Silverstone and making his Broadway theatrical debut playwright Eric Bogosian. I'll give it a chance.

The Miracle Worker(Opens March 3)Even though I have never seen a production or any of the many movie and television versions of this well known play I am looking forward to it. The main reason being Alison Pill as Annie Sullivan. In the last few years she has proven to be on of the finest stage actor's of her generation. Plus you have rising film star Abigail Breslin in the role of Helen Keller. This new production is being performed at the Circle in the Square which is theatre in the round. I can't wait.

A Behanding In The Spokane(March 4)This new play written by Martin McDonagh is getting a lot of press due mostly to it's all star cast. Academy Award winner Christopher Walken makes his return to Broadway for the first time in almost a decade to star in what is sure to be one of the biggest hits of the season. Rounding out the cast are Sam Rockwell, Anthony Mackie, and Zoe Kazan. I've never see Mr. Walken on stage so I am sure we are in for a treat.

Well there we are so far. Not one musical in the whole bunch. I'll be back later this week to discuss five new shows including the highly anticipated Addams Family. Until next time theatre fans.

A View From The Bridge To Begin Previews December 28

I cannot begin to tell you how excited I am about seeing this show. Even though I am familiar with most of Arthur Miller's plays I had never heard of A View From The Bridge until I saw the 1998 Broadway revival with Anthony LaPaglia, Allison Janney, and the late Brittany Murphy. I was blown away by the production and was sad that a show of that depth and raw emotion only ran for a very short time. Now here we are almost twelve years later and this magnificent play is back on Broadway again. Headlining this production are Tony winner Liev Schreiber and film star Scarlett Johansson who is making her Broadway debut. Having seen Mr. Schreiber on stage many times I can attest to his talent and stage presence. I can't wait to see what he brings to this iconic stage role. I expect this show to sell very well and based on the talent involved it should hopefully be well received. By the way the show is only running thru April 4th so don't delay. Get your tickets to see A View From The Bridge on Broadway. It is a Broadway treasure.

Catherine Zeta-Jones and Angela Lansbury Open on Broadway on December 13, 2009

The show is called A Little Night Music and it is based on an Ingmar Bergman film called Smiles of a Summer Night. The music is by Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler (from the original 1973 production) and it is the very first revival of A Little Night Music on Broadway.

A Little Night Music is about Desiree Armfeldt, an aging actress who is rekindling her romance with an older married man who becomes impatient with his constantly resistant "virginal child-bride". Additional romantic encounters take place during one weekend in the country in turn of the century Sweden.

Catherine Zeta-Jones is making her Broadway debut. She has been seen in many films that include Chicago and won an Academy Award for her portrayal of Vilma Kelly. Angela Lansbury plays the role of Madame Armfeldt in A Little Night Music. Ms. Lansbury has been acting for more than 60 years now, winning 5 Tony Awards, most recently winning the award for Blithe Spirit in 2009.

Our ticket company, Applause (License #71AP1001029), always gets complimentary tickets to see a show before its official opening. Although we are anxiously awaiting an invitation to see A Little Night Music we haven't heard any word of mouth from the preview audiences that have seen A Little Night Music. As soon as we see the show, we will write a review for our Broadway Ticket News readers.

It's been a Broadway season that has been exciting to say the least. We have seen Hugh Jackman and Daniel Craig play in A Steady Rain, Jude Law in Hamlet and soon we will see Liev Schreiber and Scarlett Johansson star in Arthur Miller's A View from the Bridge. We are hoping that Catherine Zeta-Jones and Angela Lansbury shine in A Little Night Music and that the show enjoys a long run on Broadway.
