LaBute will make his Broadway directorial debut with the play, which begins performances Tuesday, April 12, 2011 for an official opening night of Tuesday, April 26, 2011.

Tickets are on sale exclusively to American Express cardholders through Friday, February 11.
 
LaBute's razor-sharp comedy tells the story of Tom (Hamilton), a very eligible bachelor who falls for the beautiful, bright and plus-sized Helen (Rolff). Tom is overjoyed with his new relationship but his shallow co-workers are less enthusiastic. Tom shrugs off their objections but eventually the cruel jabs of his acerbic friend Carter (Cook) and Jeannie (Stiles), a former flame, force him to question his own values and the importance of conventional good looks. The bitingly funny FAT PIG is Neil LaBute's candid and unapologetic depiction of our obsession with image and cookie cutter beauty.  
 
The design team for FAT PIG will include scenic designer Neil Patel (Wonderland, 'Night Mother), lighting designer David Weiner (Reasons To Be Pretty, The Real Thing), and sound designer Robert Kaplowitz (Tony Award winner for Fela). FAT PIG will be produced on Broadway by Heather Provost and Aldo Scrofani.
