Long Day's Journey Into Night - 2016 Broadway History , Info & More

Todd Haimes Theatre (Broadway)
229 W. 42nd St. New York, NY

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.

Two-time Academy Award winner and three-time Emmy Award winner Jessica Lange will play "Mary Tyrone," following her critically acclaimed, Olivier Award-nominated performance in the role on the West End in 2000.

Golden Globe winner and Tony Award nominee Gabriel Byrne will play "James Tyrone."

Tony Award winner John Gallagher Jr. will play "Edmond Tyrone."

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Long Day's Journey Into Night

8 Jessica Lange makes this a Broadway 'Journey' worth taking
8 / 10

It's Lange's nuanced, quietly wrenching performance that anchors Roundabout Theatre Company's new revival (* * * out of four stars) of Eugene O'Neill's seminal dysfunctional-family drama...This staging, by British director Jonathan Kent, doesn't pack the emotional or theatrical wallop of its predecessor, but its bleak naturalism remains compelling...it's Lange who haunts us most. Having played Mary on the London stage 16 years ago, she returns to the part with an obvious and profound sense of empathy for this woman who is compared, more than once, to a ghost. Mary's world, outside the drug-induced hazes, is hardly a comforting place, but you'll leave it feeling very much alive.

Long Day’s Journey Into Night review – all-star cast conjure a visceral O'Neill
8 / 10

The close of the play has always belonged to Mary, but Lange gets hold of much of the rest of it, too. Her Mary, a part she first played in the West End in 2000, can seem sweet, flighty, frail, but there's an adamantine spine beneath that softness, one that's been built on need and hurt. When provoked, she can turn as vicious as any of the men and she knows how to make her words cut more cruelly and deeply.
