Aaron Sorkin Praises Theatricality of A Few Good Men Revival
Aaron Sorkin’s A Few Good Men is returning to Broadway in a production directed by Michael Arden. Bradley Whitford, Tom Blyth and Krysta Rodriguez lead the cast. Sorkin and Arden discussed how the revival uses theatrical elements to offer a fresh experience.
The revival returns Sorkin’s courtroom drama to the stage, where it existed before becoming a film. Michael Arden directs a cast including Bradley Whitford, Tom Blyth, and Krysta Rodriguez. Michael Oberholtzer, who plays Capt. Jack Ross, recalled Sorkin affirming his instincts at an early reading.
Tom Blyth, cast as Lt. Daniel Kaffee, said the movie helped inspire his acting ambitions and hopes younger viewers will encounter the story for the first time. Krysta Rodriguez, playing Lt. Commander JoAnne Galloway, called the Lincoln Center production a timely opportunity.
The revival may draw film fans and newcomers to Broadway, potentially broadening audiences for courtroom dramas and stage revivals. Younger theatergoers could encounter the story for the first time, while Sorkin’s involvement may attract existing fans. Its success could influence how Broadway markets revivals to movie audiences, though impact depends on ticket demand and critical reception.
