Bobby Cannavale (The Motherf*cker with the Hat, Glengarry Glen Ross), James Corden (One Man, Two Guvnors; The History Boys), and Neil Patrick Harris (“How I Met Your Mother,” Hedwig and the Angry Inch) return to the stage in the first Broadway revival of the Tony Award-winning play ART by Yasmina Reza.
Directed by Scott Ellis (Pirates! The Penzance Musical, “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,”), this sleek and sophisticated comedy is coming this fall for a strictly limited engagement.
Three longtime friends. One ridiculously expensive painting. Is it art, or is it just the world’s priciest inside joke? What begins as a polite debate over aesthetics and taste devolves into a clash of egos and resentments. Can their friendship survive, or will one of them finally draw the line? It’s just 100 minutes of minimalist art, maximalist laughs, and a moving look at what we really see and forgive in the people we love.
(James Corden will not appear October 7, November 18)
