With the addition of Tim Daly, the cast of the upcoming revival of The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial is now complete.
The show will begin performances on Friday, April 14, 2006 and open on Broadway on
Sunday, May 7, 2006 at 7pm at The Lyceum Theatre (149 W. 45th St.).
According to Variety, Daly has been cast as the prosecutor. He will join David Schwimmer ("Friends") in his Broadway debut as Lt. Barney Greenwald and Tony Award-nominee Zeljko Ivanek (The Pillowman, Two Shakespearean Actors) as Lt. Com. Philip Francis Queeg, as well as Terry Beaver (Democracy, Twentieth Century, Henry IV) as Captain Blakely, Murphy Guyer (The Graduate, Swimming in the Shallows) as Captain Southard, Brian Reddy (Dinner at Eight, Abe Lincoln in Illinois, A Little Hotel on the Side) as Dr. Forrest Lundeen and Ben Fox (Our Town, Three Seconds in the Key) as Lt. Willis Keith. The show will be directed by Tony Award-winner Jerry Zaks (La Cage aux Folles, Guys and Dolls).Originally published as a novel in 1951, The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial is
the story of a naval lieutenant on trial for mutiny in wartime. The
novel won Wouk the Pulitzer Prize, selling millions of copies and
becoming a classic story of American history. The original play, which opened in 1954, was headlined by Henry Fonda and Lloyd Nolan.
In addition to The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial, Herman Wouk's work includes The Winds of War, War and Remembrance, Marjorie Morningstar, Youngblood Hawke, The Hope, The Glory, A Hole in Texas, as well as the non-fiction books This Is My God and The Will to Live On. Wouk himself served aboard two destroyer-minesweepers, the U.S.S. Zane and the U.S.S. Southhard, from 1942 to 1946.
Daly won a Theatre World Award for his Broadway debut in Coastal Disturbances. Perhaps best known for his work on TV's "Wings," his screen and TV credits include Against the Ropes, Basic, The Object of My Affection, Dr. Jekyll and Ms. Hyde, Spellbinder, Diner, "The Sopranos" and "Judging Amy."
Produced by Jeffrey Richards, Jerry Frankel, Debra Black and Roger Berlind, The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial will feature a set designed by John Lee Beatty, costumes by William Ivey Long, lighting by Paul Gallo, and sound design by Peter Fitzgerald.
