Stars of stage, screen—and politics!—came out to support the official opening night of Lincoln Center Theater’s Kyoto, making its U.S. premiere Off-Broadway at Lincoln Center Theater’s Mitzi E. Newhouse, November 3.

Notables attending included former secretaries of state John Kerry and Hillary Clinton, EGOT winner Rita Moreno, Tony winners Celia Keenan-Bolger and Daniel Radcliffe, Bellamy Young, Hamish Linklater, Bobby Conte, and Martyna Majok. Hit the red carpet in the photo gallery below.

The work, which comes stateside after an Olivier-nominated U.K. premiere via Royal Shakespeare Company and Good Chance, is directed by Stephen Daldry and Justin Martin. Performances continue through November 30.

Kyoto is set in December 1997 at the Kyoto Conference Centre. The political thriller dramatizes the moment all nations tried to set aside their differences for the sake of the earth.
