Todd Haimes Theatre (Broadway)
229 W. 42nd St. New York, NY
Elegant in its simplicity yet limitless in its scope, Long Day's Journey Into Night is the tale of an ordinary summer's day with extraordinary consequences. Drawing so heavily from the author's personal history that it could only be produced posthumously, the story of the Tyrone family and their battle to unearth-and conceal-a lifetime of secrets continues to reveal itself to audiences as one of the most profound and powerful plays ever brought to the stage.
Two-time Academy Award winner and three-time Emmy Award winner Jessica Lange will play "Mary Tyrone," following her critically acclaimed, Olivier Award-nominated performance in the role on the West End in 2000.
Golden Globe winner and Tony Award nominee Gabriel Byrne will play "James Tyrone."
Tony Award winner John Gallagher Jr. will play "Edmond Tyrone."

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Long Day's Journey Into Night
Jessica Lange, Gabriel Byrne Lead Roundabout's First-Rate 'Journey'
9 / 10
Lange was Olivier Award-nominated for this role 16 years ago on the West End. Byrne was Tony Award-nominated as Jamie Tyrone in 2000's Broadway 'Moon for the Misbegotten.' They know their O'Neill, and are suited to take us on the roller-coaster ride, set across one day that will prove a turning point in the lives of a troubled family. English theater director Jonathan Kent guides the simple and elegant, nearly 4-hour-long production...Leads Lange and Byrne share an effortless chemistry in which they are alternately tolerant of, and vile toward, one another -- but always easily relatable. That's quite an accomplishment when dealing with a piece of literature that drifts further away from naturalism as the the night wears on.
‘Long Day’s Journey Into Night’ Broadway Review: Jessica Lange, Gabriel Byrne Tackle O’Neill and Each Other
8 / 10
Gabriel Byrne plays Tyrone with reserved, desiccated style...In a Broadway season of big (often too big) performances, Byrne's portrayal stands out for its understatement, and something else, too. Amid all the stinginess, he brings a palpable love to his relationship with Mary (Jessica Lange)...Tom Pye's set design creates a very spacious summer residence for the Tyrones. Lange's performance works against that openness to create Mary's own desperate claustrophobia. It's a big performance, but there's nothing mechanical about it, especially the love that she projects back to Byrne. The great beauty of O'Neill's play is its repetition. He captures the way families can be civil one moment and at one another's throats the next. Under Jonathan Kent's direction, Byrne and Lange handle those sharp changes in tone adeptly to create a mesmerizing dance of death.
