Four time Tony Award nominated set designer David Rockwell (LUCKY GUY, KINKY BOOTS, YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU, ON THE TWENTIETH CENTURY) gives a fascinating insider look at how Central Park became more than just a setting for the upcoming Broadway revival of A. R. Gurney's SYLVIA, but a symbolic inspiration for the total design.

Exclusive First Look at the Set of 'Sylvia' on Broadway

Take an inside look at the Central Park-inspired scenic design for Sylvia by David Rockwell!

Posted by Sylvia on Broadway on Monday, August 17, 2015

From Tony Award-winning director Daniel Sullivan (PROOF, GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS) and two-time Pulitzer Prize nominee A. R. Gurney (THE DINING ROOM, LOVE LETTERS), Sylvia stars a brilliant cast of acclaimed comedians: Tony Award winner Matthew Broderick, Tony winner Julie White, Robert Sella, and fresh from her Tony-winning performance in You Can't Take It with You, Annaleigh Ashford as Broadway's friskiest new heroine. This wonderful look into the complexities of love and commitment asks what it truly means to be devoted to your partner...and how do you choose between the love of your life and man's best friend?

Has your pet changed your life? Have you ever wondered what she's thinking when she stares up at you and tilts her head? Could she have the secret to understanding the world at large and your place in it? Or is she just more interested in how your shoe tastes? The world of a middle-aged New York couple is turned topsy-turvy when the husband brings home an exceptionally engaging canine running loose in Central Park in the hilarious and heartwarming comedy, Sylvia.

The creative team will include scenic design by Tony Award-nominee David Rockwell (YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU, ON THE TWENTIETH CENTURY), costume design by Academy Award-winner Ann Roth (THE ENGLISH PATIENT), and lighting design by Tony Award-nominee Japhy Weideman (THE VISIT, AIRLINE HIGHWAY).
