About Giant

Tony, Emmy, and Golden Globe award winner John Lithgow (Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Conclave, The Crown) stars as Roald Dahl in this riveting new historical drama that examines a key but lesser-known chapter of the famed illustrator's life. After his success in London, Lithgow reprises his Olivier-winning performance for New York audiences.

Nicholas Hytner directs Giant, a new play by Mark Rosenblatt that won the Olivier for Best Play. Giant tells the story of children's author Roald Dahl and the true scandal — revolving around antisemitic outbursts in the press — that shook his legacy. The Daily Mail gave the play five stars, calling it "essential viewing." With a timely story, star performer, and lauded production, this is sure to be a singular theatrical event for New York audiences to enjoy. Don't miss Giant on Broadway, playing for 16 weeks only.
