Broadway’s opening night performance of "Art" on Tuesday, Sept. 16, drew a high-profile crowd to New York City, with attendees from fashion, film and theater turning out for the red carpet and curtain call. The production stars James Corden, Neil Patrick Harris and Bobby Cannavale.
After the red carpet arrivals, the three leads took bows onstage during the performance, an appearance captured by photographers in the theater. The guest list for the night included fashion executive Anna Wintour, actors Goldie Hawn, Paul Rudd, Sarah Paulson, Jodie Foster and Rose Byrne, as well as Broadway figures such as Jordan Roth. Among those photographed at the event were family members and close colleagues of the cast, including Gideon Scott Burtka-Harris, David Burtka and Harper Grace Burtka-Harris.
Photographers working the red carpet captured a mix of longtime stage stars and screen actors. Andrea Martin and Nathan Lane were among the theater community in attendance, while Mark Consuelos and other entertainment figures also appeared at the event.

The production’s opening night added to a busy fall season on Broadway, where premieres and revivals often attract attention from the broader entertainment community. The presence of both film and fashion figures underscored the cross-industry interest in Broadway openings, and photos from the night circulated widely on social media and in entertainment coverage the following day.
