'Almost Famous' and 'The Morning Show' star Billy Crudup is set to make his West End debut in David Cale’s thrilling comedic play Harry Clarke which will open at the Ambassadors Theatre on March 9th.
Harry Clarke is a one-man play, first performed by Crudup in 2017 off-Broadway, and follows the fortunes of a midwestern barista as he charms his way into a rich New York family. Crudup reprised his performance in New York in 2018 at the Minetta Lane Theatre, and again last year in California at the Berkley Repertory Theatre.
Speaking of the West End appointment, Crudup commented: “I love London and I have loved seeing theatre in London for decades. West End theater-goers are some of the most discerning, intelligent, and hungry audiences in the world. I’m grateful to be given the opportunity to share the work Leigh, David, myself, and all our producers have created on the London stage.”
The creative team behind the show features Leigh Silverman (director), Kaye Voyce (costume designer), Alexander Dodge (set designer), Bart Fasbender (sound designer), and Alan C Edwards (lighting designer).
Original songs featured in the show are by Cale, with vocal coaching from Deborah Lapidus, and dialect coaching from Jessica Berman and Deborah Hecht.
Harry Clarke will run at the Ambassadors Theatre until May 11th.
Booking & Theatre Info For Harry Clarke
The Ambassadors Theatre is a small West End venue with a capacity of 410 seats on two levels. Premium seats in the theatre are located in the front two rows of the Circle, and the centre of the Stalls with great views between seats 6-12 in rows D-G.
Due to the intimacy of the venue, bargain hunters can get great value from the back row of the Circle which offers a great view of the stage. The overhang from the Circle does encroach on the rear seats in the Stalls, meaning the back rows do have a slightly restricted view which should reflect in the price of the ticket.
Patrons on a budget can find good value last minute theatre tickets in the last four rows of the Circle from H to L which are often discounted but still offer a great view of the stage and have good legroom.
