"You can mix and match its stars, or change its context, but this enduring play always has the last word."

The New York Times

Elisabeth Vincentelli

"The three performers mesh together beautifully, with Harris providing just the right haughty snobbishness, Cannavale making comic exasperation into an art form, and Corden so lovable and vulnerable."

New York Stage Review

Frank Scheck

"It is glorious, and this Broadway season’s first showstopper."

Discussions dealing with 3 friends for 20+ years
"The acting was outstanding but the storyline was dragged out and monotonous! Also, a silly discussion amongst friends. Very disappointed. Was hoping for comedy…"

James Corden was the star
"I really expected to love this play, but sadly it felt very disappointing. James Corden was fantastic, but characters played by NPH and Bobby Cannavale were fairly unpleasant and boring. Perhaps if there was any explanation as to how/why these three people were friends, I might have been more drawn in. As it was, it was fine but certainly nothing special."

A Near Miss
"No one can dispute the acting was first rate, though I am not sure they captured the play the way the original cast did. The premise of the play is limiting in appealing to a broad audience. It’s is not a play for someone let’s say 35 and younger, and certainly not a 20 something as they cannot relate to a friendship of that long. It was loads of fun to see the actors at the stage door.

Simple, star-studded production; few laughs
"Described as “minimalist art, maximalist laughs,” but I barely chuckled on the first night of previews save a few noteworthy highs and one very memorable monologue.

About Art

Bobby Cannavale (The Motherf*cker with the HatGlengarry Glen Ross), James Corden (One Man, Two GuvnorsThe 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.
