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
Aisle View: Long Night’s Journey
6 / 10
Lange-who first played this role in an unrelated 2000 production in London-is matched by Michael Shannon, as the wastrel brother Jamie. Shannon (Bug, Killer Joe and the recently opened 'Elvis and Nixon') is one of those actors who seem incapable of giving a less-than-mesmerizing stage performance. O'Neill filled this role with despair, and Shannon serves it to us drink by drink. But Shannon and Lange, with a partial victory by Byrne, are not quite enough. John Gallagher, Jr.-a Tony-winner for Spring Awakening-simply doesn't work out as stand-in for the playwright. The wrong actor in the wrong production, he doesn't seem tortured, frail-with-consumption, or part of the family Tyrone whatsoever.
Broadway's busy week: Affecting 'Long Day's Journey'; forgettable 'Fully Committed'
8 / 10
...while Kent's interpretation draws out some of scalding comedy percolating beneath the surface of O'Neill's language, there's nothing here that could possibly be described as transgressive or especially revelatory. The result is a perfectly accomplished, if at times perfunctory-feeling; a revival that's easier to admire than love. Of the four main actors, Lange (who played the same part in London in 2000) is particularly strong, giving us a deeply complicated Mary Tyrone - a woman both steely and desperate whose unravelling is the motor of the story.As the elder Tyrone son, Jamie, Shannon brings the full force of his off-kilter intensity to bear - his final act descent into drunken fury is the strongest, and scariest, part of the production.
