Aaron Sorkin's A Few Good Men Returns to Broadway

Aaron Sorkin's military courtroom drama A Few Good Men is back on Broadway in a new revival. Deadline published its review of the production on October 30, 2026.

The show is a Lincoln Center Theater production and plays at the Vivian Beaumont Theater, the company's main stage. Lincoln Center Theater is a nonprofit, so it is not run to make private profit for its owners. Michael Arden directs.

The cast is led by Bradley Whitford, who plays Colonel Nathan R. Jessep. Tom Blyth plays Lieutenant Daniel Kaffee, the young lawyer at the center of the case. Krysta Rodriguez plays Lieutenant Commander JoAnne Galloway, and Nick Blaemire plays Lieutenant Sam Weinberg. Dane Laffrey designed the set.

For Blyth, this is a first. He is making his Broadway debut in the role. Playbill reported on October 6, 2026, that Sorkin gave the script a dialogue polish for the revival. That means he reworked some of the spoken lines for the stage version.

Many people know the story from the 1992 film, which starred Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson and Demi Moore. The stage version tells the same tale of two Marine officers charged with the death of a fellow Marine, and the courtroom battle that follows.

Before a Broadway show opens to critics, it runs in previews. These are paid performances where the production still tunes the staging and the performances. Deadline reported on October 13, 2026, that the revival sold out its first three previews. Those performances grossed $555,367. Gross means the total money taken in from ticket sales, before any costs are paid.

Here is the money side, for anyone new to it. A Broadway show is a small business with a payroll, a weekly bill for the theater and crew, and investors who put up the money to open. That up-front money is called capitalization. The show's goal is to recoup, meaning it has earned back what it cost to open. Until then, each week's ticket sales go toward paying off that debt. Recoupment is not guaranteed, and the timing depends on how many seats sell over the course of a run.

Ticket buyers can also check the advance, which is the tickets already sold for performances still to come. Strong advance sales show that people have booked seats ahead of time.

Behind the curtain, a production like this one needs a large crew. Stagehands load sets into trucks after a show closes and set them up in the next city, often in a single night. A revival that opens in New York has usually been years in the making, and its sets, lights and costumes are built long before the first audience arrives.

For now, the production is in its preview period at the Vivian Beaumont, and the numbers that count most are the ones that come in each week. Anyone planning to see the show can check current seats directly with the theater.
