Tony Winner Joe Mantello Will Return to the Stage in The Glass Menagerie Opposite Sally Field

Tony-winning director Joe Mantello will return to center stage in a new Broadway revival of Tennessee Williams' The Glass Menagerie. He’ll take on the role of Tom Wingfield, joining the previously speculated Sally Field, who will play matriarch Amanda Wingfield. Fun Home Tony winner Sam Gold will direct the production, which is scheduled to begin performances on February 14, 2017. Opening night is set for March 23 at the Golden Theatre.

The show will also star American Horror Story alum Finn Wittrock as the "gentleman caller" Jim O’Connor and Madison Ferris, who will be making her Broadway debut in the role of Laura Wingfield.

Mantello earned a Tony nomination this year for directing The Humans; he also helmed this season’s revival of Blackbird. He won previously for directing Assassins and Take Me Out and picked up additional nods for directing Love! Valour! Compassion! and Glengarry Glen Ross. As an actor, Mantello’s credits include The Normal Heart on stage and screen (he picked up both Tony and Emmy nods) and Angels in America.

Wittrock made his Broadway debut as Happy in the 2012 revival of Death of a Salesman. In addition to AHS, he has since appeared on screen in The Normal Heart, The Big Short, Noah, Winter’s Tale and the upcoming movie musical La La Land. Ferris’ previous stage credits include The Winter’s Tale and Three Sisters at Muhlenberg College, where she studied both theater and media/communication.

The Glass Menagerie, which follows a faded Southern belle and her two kids, premiered on Broadway in 1945 and has since been revived six times. The most recent revival, in 2013, featured Cherry Jones, Celia Keenan-Bolger, Zachary Quinto and Brian J. Smith.
