James Corden Returns to US for Broadway Revival of Art

James Corden is set to return to the Broadway stage in a revival of Yasmina Reza's acclaimed play "Art," beginning previews on August 28, 2025, and running through December 21. He will star alongside Neil Patrick Harris and Bobby Cannavale in the comedy about friendship and taste, centered on a dispute over an expensive white painting. Corden will play Yvan, the peacemaker of the trio, marking his first Broadway appearance since his Tony-winning role in "One Man, Two Guvnors" in 2012. The production will be directed by Scott Ellis and represents the first major Broadway revival of "Art" in over a decade. Corden's return to the US stage comes after relocating back to the UK in 2023 with his family, following his departure from hosting CBS's "The Late Late Show." The play, originally written in French and awarded multiple honors including the Tony and Olivier Awards, explores themes of friendship, ego, and loyalty.
