A View from the Bridge Revival 2015 - Articles Page 1.8

In London this past season, there was one show that everyone was talking about. The Young Vic production of A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE premiered in April 2014 to ecstatic reviews and instantly sold out its initial engagement. The production subsequently transferred to London's West End for another completely sold-out run. It won the 2015 Olivier Awards for Best Revival, Best Actor and Best Director. It was named the top theater pick of the year by The Evening Standard, The Guardian and The Independent. The Times called it "one of the great theatrical productions of the decade."

The Financial Times called it "superb, searing and triumphant." Time Out wrote, "To say visionary director Ivo van Hove's production is the best show in London is like saying Stonehenge is the current best rock arrangement in Wiltshire; it almost feels silly to compare this pure, primal, colossal thing with anything else on the stage."

The visionary director, Olivier winner Ivo van Hove, will be making his Broadway debut. The stellar cast will be led by Mark Strong (The Imitation Game; Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy), who won the Olivier Award for his portrayal of Eddie Carbone in Miller's dark and passionate classic drama set on the Brooklyn waterfront.
