Hotly anticipated as this year’s must-see production, La Bête is an uproarious, Olivier Award-winning comedy by American playwright David Hirson, starring the extraordinary Tony Award(R)-winning actor Mark Rylance (Boeing-Boeing, Jerusalem), the wonderful Tony and Emmy(R) Award winner David Hyde Pierce (Curtains, Niles in the smash-hit sitcom Frasier) and the magnificent BAFTA Award winner Joanna Lumley (Patsy in the BBC’s Absolutely Fabulous). This dazzling new staging is directed by the internationally acclaimed, multi-award winner Matthew Warchus (God of Carnage, Boeing-Boeing, Art, The Norman Conquests).

The hilarious action begins when an audacious princess (Lumley) hires a common street performer (Rylance) to join her royal theatre troupe. When the loud-mouthed clown meets the classically-trained troupe leader (Pierce), the two square off to defend their pride in a rollicking showdown for the ages.

Written in 1991, La Bête was a huge critical success in London and won the 1992 Olivier Award for Best Comedy. Don’t miss your chance to see this stellar new production, playing a strictly limited engagement on Broadway.

Cast Members include Mark Rylance, David Hyde Pierce, Joanna Lumley, Lisa Joyce, Greta Lee, Robert Lonsdale, Michael Milligan, Stephen Ouimette, Liza Sadovy, and Sally Wingert.
