The first photographs of Neil Pepe's A View from the Bridge were taken in the house it will play, the Ellen Stewart Theatre at La MaMa, and they arrive with the rest of the company named. Eight actors now fill out the Arthur Miller revival around Sam Rockwell, Carla Gugino and Alfred Molina, ahead of a first performance on November 27.
The new names, all photographed by Lily Cummings alongside the principals, are Erick Betancourt as Mike, Lou Liberatore as Louis and Benj Mirman as Tony, with Jordan Lage and Matthew J. Harris as the 1st Immigrant Officer and 2nd Immigrant Officer. Taylor Dunbar, Allen Tedder and Carly Zien complete the company.
They join the principals announced in October: Rockwell as Eddie Carbone, Gugino as his wife, Beatrice, and Molina, a Tony, Olivier and Emmy nominee, as the lawyer Alfieri. Fred Hechinger and Tony nominee Tom Pecinka are the Italian cousins Rodolpho and Marco, and Riley Prior is Catherine, the niece whose romance with Rodolpho sets Eddie on his collision course with his own family and neighbors.
The engagement is strictly limited to 13 weeks. Performances begin on November 27, and opening night is set for Sunday, December 13. Rockwell is producing the revival with Mark Berger, and Play Hooky Productions is the producing company.
The staging also returns the play to a downtown room for the first time in six decades. A View from the Bridge was first seen Off-Broadway in 1965, at the Sheridan Square Playhouse, in a production directed by Ulu Grosbard with Robert Duvall and Jon Voight in the cast and a young Dustin Hoffman as assistant director. According to the producers, this is its first Off-Broadway outing since then.
Pepe's design team is led by three-time Tony winner Scott Pask on sets, with costumes by Sarah Laux, lighting by John Torres and sound by two-time Tony nominee Palmer Hefferan. Taylor Williams is casting director, Jason Hindelang is production stage manager, Bethany Weinstein Stewert handles production management, and Baseline Theatrical is general manager.
Tickets for A View from the Bridge at La MaMa's Ellen Stewart Theatre are on sale now.
