About the Show
The Music Box Theatre is sure to rumble with the sounds of howling laughter when the comedic power team of Tony winners David Hyde Pierce and Mark Rylance as well as Absolutely Fabulous funny lady Joanna Lumley bring La Bete to the Great White Way this fall. Broadway.com has an exclusive sneak peek at the revival of this 17th-century-set farce which, inspired by Moliere, follows the antics of a high-minded classical dramatist, a low-brow street clown and a fickle princess. The show is written entirely in iambic pentameter which, based on this clip, the talented stars manage flawlessly. Check out their tricky word play and wacky sight gags below.
