The canvas is coming into shape.

The first Broadway revival of Art begins previews tomorrow (August 28) at the Music Box Theatre. The comedy’s starry cast features Bobby Cannavale, James Corden, and Neil Patrick Harris as the three friends at the center of the plot. Art is written by Yasmina Reza (and translated into English by Sir Christopher Hampton); this production is directed by Scott Ellis. Opening night is September 16 for a limited run through December 21.

“Three longtime friends. One ridiculously expensive painting. Is it art, or is it just the world’s priciest inside joke? What begins as a polite debate over aesthetics and taste devolves into a clash of egos and resentments. Can their friendship survive, or will one of them finally draw the line? It’s just 100 minutes of minimalist art, maximalist laughs, and a moving look at what we really see and forgive in the people we love.”

Who’s going?
