Roundabout Theatre Company's Broadway revival of Arthur Miller's All My Sons, directed by Tony Award winner Jack O'Brien, begins previews at Broadway's American Airlines Theatre tonight, ahead of an official opening on April 22 and a limited engagement through to June 23, 2019. All My Sons is widely considered as the play that launched Arthur Miller as the moral voice of the American Theater.
The cast of All My Sons includes Golden Globe winner and Oscar, Tony & Emmy Award nominee Annette Bening (as Kate Keller) and Tony Award winner Tracy Letts (as Joe Keller), alongside Drama Desk Award nominee Benjamin Walker (as Chris Keller), Francesca Carpanini (as Ann Deever), Hampton Fluker (as George Deever), Michael Hayden (as Dr. Jim Bayliss), Jenni Barber (as Lydia Lubey), Nehal Joshi (as Frank Lubey), and Chinasa Ogbuagu (as Sue Bayliss).
Synopsis: "In the aftermath of WWII, the Keller family struggles to stay intact and to fight for their future when a long-hidden secret threatens to emerge—forcing them to reckon with greed, denial, repentance, and post-war disenchantment across generations."
The creative team behind All My Sons features original music by Bob James, scenic design by Douglas W. Schmidt, costume design by Jane Greenwood, lighting design by Natasha Katz, sound design by John Gromada, video & projections design by Jeff Sugg, and hair & wig design by Tom Watson.
