'A Few Good Men' Returns To Broadway To Mixed Reviews

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorAaron Sorkin's courtroom drama A Few Good Men is back on Broadway, and the New York Post calls it mediocre, a musty old drama with zero surprises.

2. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorIt's the first revival since the original production in nineteen eighty-nine and the film in nineteen ninety-two, at Lincoln Center's Vivian Beaumont Theatre, directed by Michael Arden.

3. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorBradley Whitford stars, and Tom Blyth makes his Broadway debut. Zero surprises sounds great to me. I know exactly what I'm getting.

4. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThat is the complaint, Chip. The Post called it chatty windbags, and one reviewer says Blyth borders on bland.

5. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorBland? Come on. Deadline says Whitford delivers the famous line with real force.

6. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorDeadline also says the exchange is less histrionic than people remember. A memory, corrected by a review.

7. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorAnd one reviewer says much of the cast was flubbing lines the night before opening, mostly in the second-act trial.

8. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe trial. The one scene built entirely on exact testimony. I want an inquiry, and I want the transcript.

9. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorSo the review says no surprises, and the cast kept supplying some. That's a bonus.
