Big news — we've got your first look at Giant on Broadway, Mark Rosenblatt's towering, award-winning play at the Music Box Theatre. Emmy, Tony, and Olivier Award winner John Lithgow stars as children's author Roald Dahl, who, after being accused of antisemitism, enters into a battle of wills with his family, his publisher, and more over how to respond.

Lithgow reprises his London performance along with Levey as Tom Maschler, Aya Cash as Jessie Stone, and Rachael Stirling as Felicity Crosland, alongside new cast members Stella Everett as Hallie and David Manis as Wally.
