It took two years, a Pulitzer Prize and an Olivier Award-winning London production before happening, but Bruce Norris' searing satire, Clybourne Park, has finally made the six-block transfer from Off-Broadway's Playwright's Horizon to Broadway's Walter Kerr Theatre. The original ensemble of director Pam MacKinnon's excellent 2010 production has been reunited for the playwright's scathing telling of the racial integration of a Chicago neighborhood, as seen through the history of one very significant home.

The Pulitzer Prize-winning play Clybourne Park opens on Broadway on April 19, 2012.

The first production footage has been released and BroadwayWorld brings you a first look below!
Winner of the 2011 Pulitzer Prize and London's Olivier Award for Best Play, Clybourne Park is described as the 'wickedly funny and fiercely provocative new play about race, real estate and the volatile values of each.' Clybourne Park explodes in two outrageous acts set 50 years apart. Act One takes place in 1959, as nervous community leaders anxiously try to stop the sale of a home to a black family. Act Two is set in the same house in the present day, as the now predominantly African-American neighborhood battles to hold its ground in the face of gentrification. See the construction of the house in the theatre, from start to finish, below!
To celebrate the beginning of previews for the eagerly anticipated Clybourne Park at the Walter Kerr Theatre, producer Jordan Roth has announced a contest to win tickets to Opening Night with Instagram. Seizing on one of the play's themes - how we each see the essential touchstones of our communities - the production is asking participants to capture the "Heart of a Neighborhood" via Instagram. Snap a photo and choose a filter to transform the look and feel of the shot.
Preview performances for the Pulitzer Prize-winning play Clybourne Park will begin tonight on Broadway. The acclaimed work by Bruce Norris, and directed by Pam McKinnon, will have its official Opening Night at the Walter Kerr Theatre on Thursday, April 19, for a limited 16-week engagement.
