AboutVenueTickets
Why watch Art?
- A razor-sharp comedy about friendship, taste, and ego, Art follows three men whose bond unravels after one splurges on a shockingly minimalist, all-white painting.
- Starring Neil Patrick Harris (How I Met Your Mother, Hedwig and the Angry Inch), Bobby Cannavale (The Lifespan of a Fact, The Irishman), and James Corden (One Man, Two Guvnors), this trio brings comic precision to Yasmina Reza’s award-winning script.
- Directed by Scott Ellis (Take Me Out, She Loves Me), the production balances humor and tension perfectly, proving that a simple argument about art can reveal everything about human relationships.
- Winner of the Tony Award® for Best Play, Art has been translated into over 30 languages and performed worldwide. Its themes of status, friendship, and self-worth remain timeless and universally relatable.
- Playing for 17 weeks only at the Music Box Theatre, this show is “savvy and very fun” (Chicago Tribune). Book your tickets to Art on Broadway now and enjoy an intelligent, fast-paced play that turns small talk into verbal sparring.
The first Broadway revival of Yasmina Reza’s Art brings together an extraordinary ensemble with Neil Patrick Harris (Hedwig and the Angry Inch), Bobby Cannavale (The Lifespan of a Fact, The Irishman), and James Corden (One Man, Two Guvnors), under the direction of Scott Ellis (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel). Originally premiering in Paris in 1994 before winning the Tony Award® for Best Play in 1998, Art returns with a fresh energy that makes its themes of taste and friendship feel as sharp as ever. Christopher Hampton’s acclaimed English translation keeps Reza’s rhythm intact, while David Rockwell’s minimalist set underscores the play’s central question: what makes something valuable? With lighting by Jen Schriever, costumes by Linda Cho, and original music by Kid Harpoon, Art transforms simplicity into sophistication. For 100 uninterrupted minutes at the Music Box Theatre, audiences are invited into a witty, painfully honest debate about what we see and forgive in those closest to us.
Storyline
When Serge buys an outrageously expensive all-white painting, his friend Marc is appalled. Their mutual friend Yvan attempts to stay neutral, but the trio’s friendship begins to fray as art becomes a mirror for pride, resentment, and long-buried truths. What starts as a debate over taste soon turns into a battle over identity and loyalty. Will their bond survive, or is this the moment one of them finally draws the line? Book your Art Broadway tickets to find out how one painting changes everything.
