Joan Marcus “Giant,” a play starring John Lithgow as author Roald Dahl, has recouped its entire production cost after 10 weeks on Broadway. The show, which is running for a limited 16-week engagement, was capitalized at $5.6 million.
“Giant” revolves around a 1983 scandal that forces Dahl to choose between risking his reputation or making a public apology after writing a book review that garnered backlash for being antisemitic. The Broadway production has been nominated for four Tony Awards, including best play, actor for Lithgow and featured actress for Aya Cash. Mark Rosenblatt wrote the Olivier Award-winning play, which was directed by Nicholas Hytner.
