Bradley Cooper in The Elephant Man on Broadway


Elephant Man playbill autographed by Bradley Cooper and Alessandro Nivola

The Elephant Man play was revived on Broadway late last year at the Booth theatre. It starred Bradley Cooper in the eponymous role.

We caught the show in December. During the introduction of the Elephant man character, actual photos of Joseph Merrick better known as John were shown to portray his deformities. Bradley Cooper contorted his body and face to convey the deformities rather than wearing prosthetics.


Bradley gave a strong performance well supported by other cast members. Alessandro Nivola portrayed Dr. Federick Treves, the doctor who took took care of Joseph Merrick. Patricia Clarkson played an actress who was a frequent visitor of him.


After the show, Bradly Cooper signed autographs for the large crowd of fans waiting patiently outside the theatre. We were happy to get one too.
