'Elephant Man' Broadway Revival Starring Bradley Cooper Delayed till November 7

Producers announced that a scheduling conflict has delayed the opening at Broadway's Booth Theatre of a revival of The Elephant Man, starring Bradley Cooper and directed by Tony nominee Scott Ellis (The Mystery of Edwin Drood). The limited run will now begin previews November 7 before an official December 7 opening, and continue through February 15, 2015.
