Giant on Broadway tickets

See two-time Tony Award winner and six-time Emmy Award winner John Lithgow star as Roald Dahl in this moving new play. An entertainment icon known for his roles in The Crown, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Conclave, 3rd Rock from the Sun, and other hit Broadway shows, TV series, and films, entertainment icon Lithgow reprises his Oliver Award-winning turn as children's book illustrator Roald Dahl in Giant on Broadway this season.

In Giant in New York, Lithgow plays Dahl at a pivotal moment in the famed artist's career. A true scandal — revolving around antisemitic outbursts in the press — shakes his legacy after the review of one of his books' illustrations. How does he bounce back, and what do the revelations say about the world around him?

“Being a part of Giant from its inception has been the most challenging and exciting stage experience of my career,” said Lithgow in a statement. Calling Dahl "a man of dizzying complexity," Lithgow added that the story "resonates powerfully with events of our present day. No play I’ve ever been in has had such an impact on audiences. I am so proud and honored to play this part.”

“Giant was written on spec in my kitchen with no assurance it would ever get produced at all,” said Olivier Award-winning playwright Mark Rosenblatt. “So, to have it premiere at London’s mighty Royal Court Theatre before transferring to the West End was truly life-changing. And now, to open on Broadway, led again by the peerless John Lithgow, is truly the stuff of dreams — I can’t wait to share Giant and Nick Hytner’s exceptional production with New York audiences.”
