Cariou, Harris, Metcalf Set for Geffen’s All My Sons

Len Cariou, Neil Patrick Harris, and Laurie Metcalf will star in the Geffen Playhouse’s production of Arthur Miller’s classic drama All My Sons, April 11- May 21. The production will be directed by Randall Arney. Additional casting will be announced shortly.

First seen on Broadway in 1947, the show tells the story of Joe Keller, a successful, middle-aged man who has done a terrible thing: rushing to meet an order from the Army, he knowingly sold them defective airplane parts which later caused 21 men to die. Joe then engineered his own exoneration by framing his business partner for the crime. Now, with his son, Chris, about to marry the partner’s daughter, Joe’s lie of a life becomes unraveled.

Cariou won the Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical for Sweeney Todd, and received Tony nominations for his work in Applause! and A Little Night Music. His other Broadway credits include King Henry V, Teddy and Alice, The Dinner Party, and Proof.

Harris has starred on Broadway in Cabaret, Proof, and Assassins, and has been seen regionally in Rent. He is best known for playing the title role in the long-running TV series Doogie Howser, M.D.

Metcalf is a well-respected stage actress who starred on Broadway in My Thing of Love and received the Obie and Drama Desk Awards for Balm in Gilead. She is a founding member of the Steppenwolf Theatre Company. Metcalf is best known for her role as Jackie on the TV series Roseanne, for which she won three Emmy Awards.
