Broadway's The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time has officially recouped its $4.75 million capitalization, following the week ending January 25, 2015. Written by Simon Stephens, adapted from Mark Haddon’s best-selling novel, and directed by Tony Award-winner Marianne Elliott, the play began preview performances on September 20, 2014 and opened on October 5, 2014. The production plays at the Barrymore Theatre.
The cast includes Alex Sharp (Broadway debut) as Christopher, Tony Award nominee Helen Carey (Hedda Gabler), Tony Award nominee Enid Graham (The Constant Wife), Ian Barford (August: Osage County), Francesca Faridany (Macbeth), Jocelyn Bioh (Broadway debut), Keren Dukes (Broadway debut), Mercedes Herrero (Broadway debut), Richard Hollis (Broadway debut), Ben Horner (Macbeth), David Manis (War Horse), Stephanie Roth Haberle (Artist Descending a Staircase), Tom Patrick Stephens (Broadway debut), and Tim Wright (The Bridges of Madison County). Taylor Trensch (Matilda the Musical) plays Christopher at certain performances.
In The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, 15-year-old Christopher has an extraordinary brain; he is exceptionally intelligent but ill-equipped to interpret everyday life. When he falls under suspicion for killing his neighbor's dog, he sets out on a journey to identify the true culprit. Following a sold-out run at the National's Cottesloe Theatre in 2012, the play transferred to London's West End. The production received seven 2013 Olivier Awards, including Best New Play.
