Rachel Chavkin, Broadway Bolide
Director Rachel Chavkin is riding a comet to Broadway—surely the slowest-moving comet ever to streak across the stratosphere. On November 14—four years, one month and two days after it world-premiered at Off Broadway’s tiny-but-mighty Ars Nova—her Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812 will reach the Imperial Theater, former home of Les Miserables and now reconfigured into Imperial Russia for the occasion.
