Photo Flash: First Look at Bradley Cooper, Patricia Clarkson & More in THE ELEPHANT MAN on Broadway

The Elephant Man, directed by six-time Tony Award nominee Scott Ellis, and starring Bradley Cooper, Patricia Clarkson, and Alessandro Nivola is now in previews with an opening night of Sunday, December 7, 2014 at Broadway's Booth Theatre. The limited engagement ends February 15, 2015. Below, BroadwayWorld brings you a first look at the cast in action below!

This production was first produced and presented in July 2012 in Williamstown, Massachusetts by the Williamstown Theatre Festival, Jenny Gersten, Artistic Director.

Based on the real life of Joseph Merrick, The Elephant Man tells the story of a 19th-century British man (Cooper) who became a star of the traveling freak show circuit. When the renowned Dr. Treves (Nivola) takes Merrick under his care, he is astonished by the man's brilliant intelligence, unshakable faith and, most of all, his resounding desire for love and understanding. He introduces Merrick to the beautiful actress Mrs. Kendal (Clarkson), who is deeply touched by this pure and genuine soul. As a complex friendship blossoms among the three, Treves and Kendal struggle to protect Merrick from a world of questionable intentions... and so begins a story of love as unique as "The Elephant Man" himself.
