We knew that Bradley Cooper was eyeing to reprise his acclaimed performance in The Elephant Man in the West End, and now he has revealed when and where the show will run in London. The Oscar nominee and Broadway.com Audience Choice Award winner told Howard Stern in a recent interview that the transfer will play a limited engagement May 18 through August 9 at the Theatre Royal Haymarket.
Bernard Pomerance’s The Elephant Man revolves around the real-life Joseph Merrick (Cooper), a severely disfigured 19th-century Englishman who struggles to live with dignity. The Broadway revival, which premiered at the Williamstown Theatre Festival in 2012, is helmed by Scott Ellis. The production is set to run through February 22 at the Booth Theatre.
In addition to Cooper, the show also stars Alessandro Nivola and Patricia Clarkson. The company features Anthony Heald, Scott Lowell, Kathryn Meisle, Henry Stram, Chris Bannow, Peter Bradbury, Lucas Calhoun, Eric Clem, Amanda Lea Mason, Marguerite Stimpson and Emma Thorne. No word yet if they will be transferring with Cooper.
