VIDEO: Jessica Lange on LONG DAY'S JOURNEY: 'It's Universal In Its Deadly Truth'

Tony nominee Jessica Lange stopped by today's LIVE WITH MICHAEL AND KELLY to talk about starring in Eugene O'Neill's LONG DAY'S JOURNEY INTO NIGHT on Broadway. "He wrote it about his own family," explains the actress. "He wrote it, as he says in the dedication to his wife, as an act of forgiveness for the four haunted Tyrones. So he was writing about his mother, father, his brother and himself." Watch clips from the appearance below!

Roundabout Theatre Company, in association with Ryan Murphy, presented Eugene O'Neill's LONG DAY'S JOURNEY INTO NIGHT, starring Academy and Emmy Award winner Jessica Lange as "Mary Tyrone," Golden Globe winner and Tony Award nominee Gabriel Byrneas "James Tyrone," Academy Award nomineeMichael Shannon as "James Tyrone, Jr.," Tony Award winner John Gallagher Jr. as "Edmund Tyrone," and Colby Minifie as "Cathleen."

Jonathan Kent directed, as part of Roundabout Theatre Company's 50th anniversary season. LONG DAY'S JOURNEY INTO NIGHT officially opened on Wednesday, April 27, 2016. This was a limited engagement through Sunday, June 26, 2016 on Broadway at the American Airlines Theatre on Broadway (227 West 42nd Street).

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.
