The play about Britain's future king, King Charles III, which began previews October 10, 2015, officially opened last night, November 1, at the Music Box Theatre (239 West 45th Street, NYC).

The cast is led by Tim Pigott-Smith, reprising his much-raved-about role as King Charles III, withOliver Chris as William, Richard Goulding as Harry, Adam James as Mr. Evans,Margot Leicesteras Camilla,Miles Richardson as James Reiss, Tom Robertson as Couttsey and other roles, Sally Scott as Sarah and other roles, Tafline Steen as Jess and Lydia Wilson as Kate.

Written by Mike Bartlett and directed by Rupert Goold, King Charles III features sets and costumes byTom Scutt, music compositions by Jocelyn Pook, lighting design by Jon Clark and sound design by Paul Arditti.

The Queen is dead. After a lifetime of waiting, Prince Charles ascends the throne. A future of power lies before him...but how to rule? Winner of the 2015 Olivier Award for Best New Play, King Charles III is the "bracingly provocative and outrageously entertaining" (The Independent) drama of political intrigue by Mike Bartlettthat comes to Broadway following a sensational West End run. Directed by Rupert Goold and deemed "the most insightful and engrossing new history play in decades" by Ben Brantley of The New York Times, this "bold and brilliant" (The Times of London) production explores the people underneath the crowns, the unwritten rules of Britain's democracy and the conscience of its most famous family.
