Bridge to Broadway! Acclaimed Staging of A View from the Bridge, Starring Mark Strong, Celebrates Opening Night

The hottest ticket in London has become Broadway’s latest must-see on November 12, when Ivo Van Hove’s acclaimed A View from the Bridge transferred to Broadway amidst cheers from the critics. Arthur Miller’s gut-wrenching drama about Eddie Carbone, a troubled Italian-American longshoreman, is revived often (it was last seen in 2010 with Liev Schreiber and Scarlett Johansson above the title), but it’s never looked like this stark, visceral staging. Led by Mark Strong, who won an Olivier Award for playing Eddie across the pond, the cast partied at Gustavino’s under the Queensboro Bridge after the opening night applause finally died down. Don’t wait to get tickets for this one—it’s only scheduled for a limited run through February 21 at the Lyceum Theatre.
