A Few Good Men revival opens at Lincoln Center Theater
Aaron Sorkin’s courtroom drama, A Few Good Men, has returned to Broadway in a revival directed by Michael Arden at the Vivian Beaumont Theater. The production explores the conflict between military command and individual conscience through the lens of a 1989 case involving two Marines charged with murder at Guantanamo Bay.
The cast features Tom Blyth in his Broadway debut as Lt. Daniel Kaffee, performing alongside Bradley Whitford, who portrays Col. Nathan R. Jessep. Krysta Rodriguez plays Lt. Commander JoAnne Galloway, while Nick Blaemire and Michael Oberholtzer round out the central legal teams.
Critical reception of the production is mixed. Some reviewers praise the sharp dialogue and the performances of the lead actors, noting that the play remains an engrossing theatrical experience. Other critics describe the production as predictable, suggesting the script relies heavily on portentous dialogue and lacks the cinematic impact of the 1992 film adaptation.
