Three-time Academy Award® nominee Bradley Cooper (American Sniper, American Hustle, Silver Linings Playbook) is being called “the best Elephant Man yet!” (Deadline) Directed by Tony nominee Scott Ellis, this new production of Bernard Pomerance’s Tony Award®-winning classic also stars Academy Award nominee and Emmy® Award winner Patricia Clarkson (“Six Feet Under”) and Alessandro Nivola (American Hustle). Based on the real life of Joseph Merrick, THE ELEPHANT MAN tells the story of a 19th-century British man (Cooper) who became a star of the traveling freak show circuit. When the renowned Dr. Treves (Nivola) takes Merrick under his care, he is astonished by the man’s brilliant intelligence, unshakable faith and, most of all, his resounding desire for love and understanding. As a complex friendship blossoms among the three, Treves and Kendal struggle to protect Merrick from a world of questionable intentions… and so begins a story of love as unique as “The Elephant Man” himself. Don’t miss your chance to see this “breathtakingly beautiful” (Variety) play that USA Today gives four stars and calls “extraordinary,” on Broadway through February 15th only.
