Can’t belive it’s been 10 years since the last production

That’s exciting. I liked bits of the last revival with John Lithgow and Dianne Wiest, but it was a... strange production. This will hopefully be, if not more straightforward, a more focused revival. And Tracy Letts and Annette Bening are certainly exciting reasons to revisit this play. Fingers crossed on the casting of Chris, Ann, and the rest of the supporting cast.

Ten years since the last one and simultaneous revivals in on both sides of the Pond, is this like performance rights thing, or just a crazy coincidence?

Wow, the plays are totally stacked for this season! Although this came out of nowhere.

Bening and Letts make this a must-see for me! Exciting addition to an already strong season for plays and revivals.

This definitely has my attention, looking forward to seeing how they round out the cast, but honestly would see Annette in anything.

Just take my life savings. Oh, these PLAYS!

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

Truly. It's shaping up to be a deeply lackluster year for musicals, but my word, we're getting a lot of great actors in a lot of great plays. Despite some inauspicious shows at the start, we might end up with an amazing season yet!

I'm pre-emptively jealous of anyone lucky enough to see/compare both Field in the West End and Bening on Broadway.

Saw the last production. (Ten years?? How time flies.) Even with some excellent acting, I found it a heavy handed bore, and don't know whether I will bother to see it again.

Maybe we can get Glass Menagerie, too! Or Streetcar Named Desire! Or Death of a Salesman! Or Raisin in the Sun! Or A View From the Bridge! Or Long Day's Journey Into Night! Or Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?! Or Noises Off!

While we're at it, we might as well do Gypsy, Fiddler and La Cage again.

Yes please! All of these would be great to see again.

We'll be in NY the week following its closing date. If memory serves, Roundabout often makes plans for a slightly longer run than initially announced for plays like this and then quickly announces a short extension...
First - is my recollection correct? and second, if so - any guesses when it would they likely announce?

if they do extend, it would probably be announced after opening night. THE PRICE, a similarly starry play, announced a one-week extension on March 27 after opening March 16. SHE LOVES ME announced a 4-week extension on April 13 (opening was March 17). If the sales are strong and Bening/Letts are available, I don't see why they wouldn't extend, she's probably the biggest star on Broadway this season.

What exciting news! I'm also thrilled to see that Gregory Mosher is directing--his production of A View from the Bridge in 2010 was thrilling and, in my opinion, far superior to the Ivo van Hove production. Mosher is truly an actor's director, and he has two of America's greatest actors leading one of the greatest American plays ever written. I could not be more excited.

Letts and Bening are great actors. All My Sons is a flawed but still excellent play. That said, I feel like there are so many other things that $8M could be used for. What is the reason for this revival? Why not have them star in a new play, rather than one of the dustiest chestnuts of American theatre?

Jack O'Brien is now directing... Let's see how he will manage to ruin this...

Curious to see if the Miller estate will have to further explain their reasoning for not wanting Mosher to cast African-American actors as Ann and George. Clearly, he highlighted the casting in his pitch as a comment on Joe’s scapegoating of Ann and George’s father, but... why the hell not? It’s a perfectly valid interpretation of the text.

Why are producers still letting him direct things?

The 2016 Stratford Festival production of All My Sons featured African-American actors in the roles of George and Ann Deever. Although every single person in the audience during the eight month run knew that this was absolutely not historically accurate it was still an amazing top-notch performance. I am confused as to why Miller’s estate signed off on that production and not this production with the same two roles in question. I was very excited to see this new revival come to Broadway but I am not a fan of Jack O’Brien’s work so I will now be skipping it.

Jack O'Brien has proved to be nothing but a disgrace as a director when it comes to working with classic properties. The fact that Roundabout chose him as a replacement baffles me.
