The Young Vic's critically-acclaimed Olivier Award-winning production ofArthur Miller's A View from the Bridge directed by Ivo van Hove, ends its acclaimed run at the Lyceum Theatre today, Sunday, February 21. Below, BroadwayWorld takes you back through A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE's time on the Great White Way!
Direct from two completely sold-out engagements in London, where it swept the 2015 Olivier Awards winning for Best Revival, Best Director, and Best Actor (Mark Strong), A View from the Bridge opened last week to rave reviews from the New York critics. The Associated Press called it "a stunning, imaginative and impassioned no-holds-barred theatrical experience." Newsday agreed, describing the production as "stripped down, stunning, and mythic." New York Magazine proclaimed the production "brilliantly theatrical; the action is tightly focused and so precipitous that it sometimes seems you're on an elevator whose cables have been cut." With the New York Post summing it all up by calling van Hove's production of A View from the Bridge, "the stuff of Broadway legend."
The cast of A View from the Bridge - Arthur Miller's dark and passionate classic drama set on the Brooklyn waterfront - is headed by Mark Strong (as Eddie Carbone), Nicola Walker (as Eddie's wife Beatrice), Phoebe Fox (as his niece Catherine), Russell Tovey (as Rodolpho), Michael Zegen (as Marco), Michael Gould (as Alfieri), and Richard Hansell(as Louis). The production has scenic and lighting design by longtime van Hove collaborator Jan Versweyveld, costume design by An D'Huys, and sound design by Tom Gibbons.A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE kicked off its 17-week limited engagement on October 21 ahead of an official opening night on Thursday, November 12. The day of the first preview, BroadwayWorld brought you exclusive interviews with the cast as they prepared for their first performance!
