That Championship Season - 2011 - Broadway Tickets, News, Info & More
Two-time Olivier Award winner Brian Cox (The Bourne Identity), Jim Gaffigan (Salvation Boulevard), Golden Globe nominee Chris Noth (The Good Wife), Jason Patric (Cat On A Hot Tin Roof) and Golden Globe and Emmy Award winner Kiefer Sutherland (24) star in Broadway’s classic drama That Championship Season.
Jason Miller’s Tony- and Pulitzer Prize-winning play returns to Broadway for a strictly limited engagement. Directed by two-time Tony Award winner Gregory Mosher (A View From The Bridge), That Championship Season is a powerhouse drama about the promise of youth… and the challenge of staying in the game.
For over two decades, four players and the coach of a high school championship basketball team have gathered every year to re-live their greatest moment of glory. While three of the players have found small-town success, the fourth has never found his way. At this year's reunion, tensions boil over, and as the celebratory evening turns brutal, long-held secrets bubble to the surface and life-long bonds are shattered.

Featured Reviews For That Championship Season
A boozy, brawling winner - USA Today
In the new Broadway revival of Season (* * ½ out of four), which opened Sunday at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre, a starry cast that includes Miller's son Jason Patric reintroduces these no-longer-young men. Over two boozy hours (in the short first act, virtually every other line seems to be an invitation to imbibe), they revisit old grievances and form new ones, gradually tearing to shreds both past glories and present accomplishments.
In New York, 'Good People' a sign of hope for this theater season - Washington Post
While many expert eyes and hands also lavish attention on the new revival of "That Championship Season," the results are not nearly as satisfying. The smart and incisive Gregory Mosher (Broadway's "A View From the Bridge"; the Kennedy Center's "The Glass Menagerie") has the directorial reins on this occasion, but he's unable to elevate the dramatic stakes of Jason Miller's dated, Pulitzer-winning play above the predictable terrain of a liquor-fueled confessional.

If Bill Clinton really was, as Toni Morrison put it, America's first black president, then perhaps it's about time we crowned David Lindsay-Abaire as America's leading female playwright. Since first gaining major attention in 1999 with Fuddy Meers, and including major productions such as Kimberly Akimbo, Wonder of the World and the Pulitzer-winning Rabbit Hole, Lindsay-Abaire (whose surname is a hyphenated combination of his and his wife's last names) has been continually filling stages with unique and interesting women as his leading characters.

THAT CHAMPIONSHIP SEASON's Jason Patric recently chatted with Entertainent Weekly about his Broadway roles of past and present, and he didn't have many kind words to say about his CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF co-star Ashley Judd. Patric claimed that Judd was, 'She's lazy, selfish and arrogant.'
