Best Actor Oscar nominee Bradley Cooper and the Broadway cast of The Elephant Man will be taking the play about a deformed man in Victorian England to London’s Theatre Royal Haymarket on May 9.
“Never did we think we would have the privilege to perform this show on Broadway, let alone in London,” Cooper said just after the news.
Also his co-stars Alessandro Nivola (Goal!; Coco Avant Chanel, Selma, American Hustle, A most Violent Year), who plays the surgeon who rescues and befriends Merrick, and Patricia Clarkson, the English actress who introduces him to upper-class society, will join Mr. Cooper in London.
