WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Direct from a sold-out engagement at London's National Theatre, this funny and fascinating new play by Tony Award winner Lee Hall (writer of Broadway's mega-hit Billy Elliot) comes to Broadway with its entire original London cast intact. The Pitmen Painters is based on the triumphant true story of a group of British miners who discover a new way to express themselves and unexpectedly become art-world sensations. An arresting and hilarious salute to the power of individual expression and the collective spirit, The Pitmen Painters takes you on an unforgettable journey from the depths of the mine to the heights of fame.

"THE PITMEN PAINTERS" IS SUPERB
This is as satisfying a theatre evening as you could ask for. Maybe short on action but full of richly drawn characters and situations. Superb acting and direction all around. It is a wonderfully rewarding play. Well worth seeing.

What do Billy Elliot and
The Pitmen Painters -- now getting its American premiere at the Manhattan Theatre Club's Samuel J. Friedman Theatre -- have in common? Both are about England's once mine-dotted north and both are penned by Lee Hall, who was raised there and who has written another exciting tribute to a working-class area that was troubled then and now no longer exists.
Under Max Roberts' alternately gritty and glossy direction, and featuring the entire original cast from London's National Theatre, this transAtlantic export is already a front-runner for this year's Tony Award for Best Play.
Much like Billy Elliot as well -- in which an entire village gets behind one young boy's a[...]
