He’s currently wowing Broadway with his portrayal of Joseph Merrick in The Elephant Man, and the production looks set to light up London’s West End in May. The three-time Academy Award nominee will appear at the Theatre Royal Haymarket from May 19th to Aug. 8th of this year.
The Elephant Man also stars seasoned film and theatre actors Alessandro Nivola and Patricia Clarkson.
“Never did we think we would have the privilege to perform this show on Broadway, let alone in London,” Cooper said to the press. “I’m honoured that Alessandro, Patricia, the entire company and I have the opportunity to continue to tell his story.”
The play’s New York run ends on the 21st February, just a day before Cooper attends the Academy Awards in Los Angeles where he is nominated in the Best Actor category for AMERICAN SNIPER.
