Here's how producers bill the play: "In Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo, Rajiv Joseph's savagely funny and deeply affecting play, a tiger haunts the streets of present day Baghdad seeking the meaning of life. As he witnesses the puzzling absurdities of war, the tiger encounters Americans and Iraqis who are searching for friendship, redemption and a toilet seat made of gold."
Here is a look at the cast, playwright and producers:
The play was a finalist for the 2010 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Previews begin March 11 toward a March 31 opening. Two-time Tony Award Moisés Kaufman (33 Variations), who directed the play in Los Angeles, again directs a cast that includes Glenn Davis, Brad Fleischer, Hrach Titizian, Sheila Vand, Necar Zadegan and Arian Moayed. This marks the Broadway acting debut of Academy Award winner Robin Williams ("Good Morning, Vietnam" "Mrs. Doubtfire," "Good Will Hunting"), who previously performed his standup act on Broadway.
