It's Official! Cast, Dates & Theater Confirmed for West End Transfer of Bradley Cooper-Led The Elephant Man

After Bradley Cooper revealed that the London transfer of The Elephant Man would play the Theatre Royal Haymarket, we now have official dates and casting. The show will play a limited engagement at the prestigious venue from May 19 through August 8. The U.S. cast, led by the Oscar nominee and Broadway.com Audience Choice Award winner along with Patricia Clarkson and Alessandro Nivola, will all cross the Pond with the production.

"Never did we think we would have the privilege to perform this show on Broadway, let alone in London," said Cooper in a statement. "I’m honored that Alessandro, Patricia, the entire company and I have the opportunity to continue to tell his story.”

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 21 at the Booth Theatre.

In addition to Cooper, Clarkson and Nivola, the cast also includes Anthony Heald, Scott Lowell, Kathryn Meisle, Henry Stram, Chris Bannow, Peter Bradbury, Lucas Calhoun, Eric Clem, Amanda Lea Mason, Marguerite Stimpson and Emma Thorne.

The production features scenic and projection design by Timothy R. Mackabee, costume design by Clint Ramos, lighting design by Philip S. Rosenberg and original music and sound design by John Gromada.
