The Broadway transfer of the National Theatre's production of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time which opened at the Barrymore Theatre on 5 October 2014 to excellent reviews, following previews from 10 September, has extended its booking period to 26 April 2015. It was previously booking through to 29 March 2015.
Synopsis: "Fifteen-year old Christopher has an extraordinary brain; he is exceptionally intelligent but ill-equipped to interpret everyday life. When he falls under suspicion for killing his neighbor's dog, he sets out to identify the true culprit, which leads to an earth-shattering discovery and a journey that will change his life forever."
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is written by Simon Stephens, adapted from the novel by Mark Haddon, and directed by Marianne Elliott.
The Broadway cast includes Alexander Sharp (Christopher Boone), Ian Barford (Ed), Helen Carey (Mrs. Alexander), Francesca Faridany (Siobhan), Enid Graham (Judy), with Jocelyn Bioh, Mercedes Herrero, Richard Hollis, Ben Horner, and David Manis.
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time first opened at the National Theatre's Cottesloe Theatre on 2 August 2012. After a successful run until late October 2012 and a live broadcast to cinemas worldwide through National Theatre Live, it moved into the West End's Apollo Theatre in March 2013, before closing on 19 December 2013 following the collapse of the theatre's ceiling. The play re-opened at its current West End home, the Gielgud Theatre, on 8 July 2014, following previews from 24 June.
The Broadway production is designed by three-time Olivier Award-winner Bunny Christie, with lighting by Tony Award-winner Paule Constable, video design by Finn Ross, movement by Scott Graham and Olivier Award-winner Steven Hoggett for Frantic Assembly, music by Adrian Sutton and sound by Ian Dickinson for Autograph.
The play is produced on Broadway by Stuart Thompson and by Tim Levy for National Theatre America.
