NATASHA, PIERRE AND THE GREAT COMET OF 1812 – Created by Dave Malloy (Preludes, Ghost Quartet) and directed by Rachel Chavkin (Small Mouth Sounds, Preludes) — making their Broadway debuts — Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812 will blaze into Broadway’s Imperial Theatre beginning in the first week of October with opening night set for Monday, November 14, 2016. Geaturing the Broadway debuts of 18 cast and creative team members, including Josh Groban as ‘Pierre’ and DenĂ©e Benton as ‘Natasha,’ The Great Comet is a theatrical experience like no other. Malloy’s inspired adaptation of a 70-page slice of War and Peace puts audiences just inches away from Tolstoy’s brash young lovers, as they light up Moscow in an epic tale of romance and passion.
