An epic adventure set in 18th-century England and featuring more than 40 performers onstage along with seven musicians, CORAM BOY has played two sold-out engagements at The National Theatre, winning the 2006 Time Out Live Best Play Award and receiving rave reviews from the UK critics. The Daily Telegraph raved "Gripping, terrifying, beautiful and as moving as anything you will see in the theatre this year."
CORAM BOY is based on Jamila Gavin's best-selling novel, winner of the prestigious 2000 Whitbread Children's Book Award, which author Philip Pullman describes as "a rich and almost gothic drama, full of dastardly villains, cold-hearted aristocrats, devoted friends and passionate lovers, set against a background of cruelty, music and murder."
The Broadway cast of 40 will feature Tony Award® nominee Jan Maxwell (Chitty, Chitty, Bang, Bang), Bill Camp (Heartbreak House), Dashiell Eaves (The Lieutenant of Inishmore) and Brad Fleischer (Pig Farm).
