Aaron Sorkin's A Few Good Men brings a murder case and a military chain of command into collision. Two Marines need a defense, and lawyer Daniel Kaffee must decide how hard he is willing to push for answers. Lincoln Center Theater's revival is directed by Michael Arden at the Vivian Beaumont Theater. As of October 23, 2026, it is in previews ahead of its October 29 opening, with a limited engagement announced through January 10, 2027.
Worth knowing: Military violence and a murder investigation; Preview performances precede the formal opening; Lincoln Center location requires separate travel planning
The useful question to bring into this play is what loyalty demands when the institution asking for it may have something to hide. Kaffee begins with a legal problem, but the pressure around the case makes individual choices matter as much as legal strategy. Watch how confidence, rank, and professional language affect whose account seems credible. You do not need legal training to follow that contest.
For a group choosing between a musical and a play, this is an evening built around listening: arguments, evasions, and the moments when a question finally lands. It suits audiences who enjoy debating a character's decision afterward. Familiarity with a screen adaptation may provide recognition, but approaching the stage work on its own terms leaves room for a different emphasis.
Start with an unobstructed view of the playing area and a distance that feels comfortable for reading faces. Paying more for proximity only makes sense if the actual seat location suits you. Compare the seat or section information presented for your performance, especially any side-view warning. A general label such as premium does not describe every sightline.
The Vivian Beaumont is at Lincoln Center, away from the central Times Square theater cluster. Plan dinner and travel around that location. If someone in your party needs a step-free route or a particular seating arrangement, resolve that need before choosing a price band. Allow time for the approach to the building as well as ticket checks.
Choose your date before building the rest of the itinerary. A preview is a public performance before the formal opening, and changes can still be made during that period. If you want to read opening reviews before deciding, choose a later date and accept that availability may change. An announced closing date is a useful boundary for planning, not a promise that every date before it has a performance.
CHOOSE YOUR PERSPECTIVE
Compare the current production’s Orchestra and Loge offers. These are editorial decision tips, not inspected seat views or a promise that a particular angle will work for every staging.
Read the production map before comparing price. Establish how your proposed block relates to the stage rather than assuming a conventional center aisle.
Confirm the designated location and entrance route before payment. General campus accessibility does not make every auditorium row step-free.
THEATER LOCATION & ACCESS
Vivian Beaumont Theater
150 West 65th Street, New York, NY 10023
Lincoln Center confirms accessible entrances, seating locations, and restrooms across its venues and an induction hearing loop at the Beaumont. TDF describes a street-level West 65th Street entrance with a wheelchair lift and ramp route to the Orchestra. Confirm the particular seat and route with the box office.
Check the performance date and time before traveling. Admission rules and accessibility arrangements are specific to the production and theater. Contact the venue for requirements that affect your visit.

No. This is Aaron Sorkin's spoken play, presented as a courtroom drama. Choose it for conflict carried by dialogue and character decisions rather than a sung score.
The revival is at the Vivian Beaumont Theater at Lincoln Center. Use that venue when planning your journey; a generic Times Square arrival point leaves another leg of travel.
At the October 23, 2026 verification date it is in previews. The announced opening is October 29, 2026. Previews began October 8.
The published closing date is January 10, 2027. Check the selected performance rather than treating that date as evidence of daily performances or remaining tickets.
No preparation is necessary to choose the stage play. If you already know the story, consider avoiding a detailed plot refresher so the performances and arguments can register freshly.
The subject involves military violence and a murder case. Consider a child's comfort with serious dialogue and those themes, and check the current admission rules before buying; no verified age minimum is stated here.
