It was reported today that Bradley Cooper will follow his phenomenal success with The Elephant Man on Broadway with a limited 12 week run of the play in London's West End.

The Elephant Man tells the story of Joseph Merrick, a deformed man living as the main exhibit in a 19th century freak show until he's rescued by a high society doctor.

The critically acclaimed performance concludes at the Booth Theatre on February 22 with a London production scheduled for April possibly at London's Theatre Royal Haymarket. It is reported that the entire Broadway company will come to London for the run.

The revival is directed by Scott Ellis.
