A new Broadway revival of Aaron Sorkin’s military courtroom drama A Few Good Men officially began performances on October 8 at the Vivian Beaumont Theatre at Lincoln Center. Directed by two-time Tony Award winner Michael Arden, the limited engagement is scheduled to run for 13 weeks through January 10, 2027. An official opening night is set for October 29.
Written by Sorkin and originally premiering on Broadway in November 1989 at the Music Box Theatre, the drama explores themes of conscience, obedience, and accountability within the military chain of command. The current production features a principal cast led by Emmy Award winner Bradley Whitford as Col. Nathan R. Jessep, Tom Blyth as Lt. Daniel Kaffee, and Krysta Rodriguez as Lt. Commander JoAnne Galloway.
