The current revival of Eugene O'Neill's THE ICEMAN COMETH, starring Nathan Lane and Brian Dennehy, might be heading to Broadway after its sold-out run at BAM.

Deadline writes that producer Scott Rudin -- who brought the show to Brooklyn from Chicago's Goodman Theatre -- is eyeing the move but says "nothing near decided yet."

THE ICEMAN COMETH last appeared on the Great White Way in 1999 starring Kevin Spacey. It was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Revival of a Play.

Goodman's production runs now through March 15, 2015 at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, directed by longtime Goodman Artistic Director Robert Falls.

Featuring Tony Award-winning stage and screen actors Nathan Lane as Theordore "Hickey" Hickman and Brian Dennehy as Larry Slade, the production, with its original Chicago cast, also includes set design by Kevin Depinet, inspired by a set design by John Conklin, lighting design by Nathash Katz and costume design by Merrily Murray-Walsh.

THE ICEMAN COMETH is O'Neill's trenchant portrait of hope and disillusionment. At Harry Hope's saloon, the biannual visit of charismatic traveling salesman Hickey (Lane) is cause for celebration. But when a newly sober Hickey arrives, his renewed outlook on life threatens to upend the lives of his old friends, leading to a series of devastatingly comic and heartbreaking events.
