BroadwayWorld has just learned that Arthur Miller's THE CRUCIBLE will return to Broadway at the Walter Kerr Theatre (219 West 48th Street) this spring. Bill Camp (as Reverend John Hale), Jim Norton (as Giles Corey), Tavi Gevinson (as Mary Warren), and Jason Butler Harner (as Reverend Samuel Parris) are among those who will join previously announced stars Ben Whishaw (as John Proctor), Sophie Okonedo (as Elizabeth Proctor), Saoirse Ronan (as Abigail Williams), and Ciarán Hinds (as Deputy-Governor Danforth).

The cast of 18, to be directed by Ivo van Hove, will also feature Tina Benko (as Ann Putnam/Sarah Goode), Teagle Bougere (as Judge Hawthorne), Michael Braun (as Ezekiel Cheever), Jenny Jules (as Tituba), Thomas Jay Ryan (as Thomas Putnam), Ashlei Sharpe Chestnut (as Susanna Walcott), Elizabeth Teeter (as Betty Parris), Ray Anthony Thomas (as Francis Nurse), Brenda Wehle (as Rebecca Nurse), and Erin Wilhelmi (as Mercy Lewis).

This new production of the Miller play will mark the second Arthur Miller work to be directed on Broadway this season by acclaimed Belgian director Ivo van Hove, whose Olivier Award-winning Young Vic production of A View from the Bridge opens at the Lyceum Theatre this fall. THE CRUCIBLE will begin performances on Monday evening, February 29 and open on Thursday, April 7, for a 20-week limited engagement through Sunday, July 17, 2016.

Widely considered to be a central work in the canon of American drama, THE CRUCIBLE premiered on Broadway in January 1953, won that year's Tony Award for Best Play, and has subsequently become Arthur Miller's most-produced work.

The production will feature an original score by Philip Glass, scenic and lighting design by longtime van Hove collaborator Jan Versweyveld, and costume design by Wojciech Dziedzic.

Director Ivo van Hove has been hailed by The New York Times for bringing theatre audiences "so close to a work's white-hot emotional center that it burns as it never has before." General Director since 2001 of Holland's leading theatre company Toneelgroep Amsterdam, he has staged many internationally acclaimed productions, including, in New York: Susan Sontag's Alice in Bed, More Stanley Mansions (Obie Award), A Streetcar Named Desire, Hedda Gabler (Obie Award), The Misanthrope, The Little Foxes, and last season's Scenes From a Marriage at the New York Theatre Workshop; Roman Tragedies, Cries and Whispers, Opening Night, and Angels in America at BAM; and Teorema at the Lincoln Center Festival. Van Hove's opera credits include the premiere of composer Charles Wuorinen's adaptation of Annie Proulx's Brokeback Mountain at Teatro Real in Madrid, as well as productions of The Clemency of Titus, Idomeneo, Mazeppa, Macbeth, Iolanta, The Makropulos Case, Lulu, and The Ring Cycle.

2015 marks the centenary of Arthur Miller's (1915-2005) birth. He was born in New York City and studied at the University of Michigan. His plays include All My Sons, Death of a Salesman, The Crucible, A View from the Bridge, A Memory of Two Mondays, After the Fall, Incident at Vichy, The Price, The Creation of the World and Other Business, The Archbishop's Ceiling, The American Clock, and Playing for Time. Later plays include The Ride Down Mt. Morgan, The Last Yankee, Broken Glass, Mr. Peters' Connections, Resurrection Blues, and Finishing the Picture. Other works include the novel Focus, the screenplay The Misfits, and the books In Russia, In the Country, and Chinese Encounters, written in collaboration with his wife, photographer Inge Morath. His memoir, Timebends: A Life, was published in 1987. Among many other awards, he won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1949 for Death of a Salesman.

Philip Glass (Original Score), a graduate of the University of Chicago and the Juilliard School, studied in Paris with Nadia Boulanger during the early 1960s. By the early 1970s, Glass composed a number of innovative projects, creating a large collection of music for The Philip Glass Ensemble and for the Mabou Mines Theater Company. After the 1976 premiere of his landmark opera Einstein on the Beach, Glass expanded his repertoire to include music for opera, dance, theatre, chamber ensemble, orchestra, and film. He received Academy Award nominations for scores for the films Kundun, The Hours, and Notes on a Scandal, and won a Golden Globe Award for his score for The Truman Show. In the past few years, Mr. Glass has premiered several new works including an opera on the death of Walt Disney, The Perfect American (co-commissioned by Teatro Real, Madrid and the English National Opera), a song cycle entitled Ifé written for Angelique Kidjo, a new touring production of Einstein on the Beach, and published a memoir 'Words Without Music' (Liveright Books). This past May, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, conducted by Gustavo Dudamel, performed the world premiere of a double piano concerto Glass wrote for Katia and Marielle Labèque, and in November the Washington National Opera will premiere a revised version of his opera Appomattox, created in collaboration with librettist Christopher Hampton. Glass will celebrate his 80th birthday on January 31st, 2017 with the world premiere of his 11th Symphony.

THE CRUCIBLE will be produced by Scott Rudin.
