Josh Groban, Denee Benton and the creative team of the forthcoming Broadway musical Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812 joined New York Times theatre reporter Michael Paulson for a TimesTalks at the Director's Guild of America Theater September 30.
The Great Comet will start previews the first week in October and will open November 14 at the Imperial Theatre.
The Great Comet is billed as a “theatrical experience like no other. Malloy’s inspired adaptation of a 70-page slice of War and Peace puts audiences just inches away from Tolstoy’s brash young lovers, as they light up Moscow in an epic tale of romance and passion.”

The piece stars Obie Award winner Jodie Markell as propagandist filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl, whose work in service of the Nazis defined the visual identity of Adolf Hitler's Third Reich.
The Broadway alum's golden vocals brought Old Deuteronomy from Cats and the Lion from The Wiz to life, along with Oogie Boogie in The Nightmare Before Christmas.
