The production has been nominated for six Tony Awards, including Best Play, Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role in a Play (Tom Hanks), Best Performance by an Actor in a Featured Role in a Play (Courtney B. Vance), Best Direction of a Play (George C. Wolfe), Best Scenic Design of a Play (David Rockwell) and Best Lighting Design of a Play (Jules Fisher & Peggy Eisenhauer). The production, which has broken a record three times as the highest grossing play in Broadway history, recently announced it recouped its capitalization costs.

LUCKY GUY is directed by two-time Tony Award-winner George C. Wolfe. The production opened April 1, 2013 at the Broadhurst Theatre (235 West 44th Street). The limited engagement was recently extended for 16 additional performances through July 3, 2013.

Nora Ephron began her professional career as a reporter at The New York Post in 1962 and LUCKY Guy Marks a return to her journalistic roots. Her new play is about the scandal- and graffiti-ridden New York of the 1980s, as told through the story of the charismatic and controversial tabloid columnist Mike McAlary (Tom Hanks). LUCKY GUY is the third collaboration between Tom Hanks and Nora Ephron, following the filmsSleepless in Seattle and You've Got Mail.

From his sensational reporting of New York's major police corruption to the libel suit that nearly ended his career, LUCKY GUY dramatizes the story of McAlary's meteoric rise, fall and rise again.
