James McAvoy is celebrating the opening of his play Cyrano de Bergerac!

The 42-year-old actor stepped out for the gala party on Thursday night (April 14) at the BAM Harvey Theater in New York City.

James was joined by co-stars Evelyn Miller and Eben Figueiredo, as well as director Jamie Lloyd. The play is now in the U.S. after winning the Olivier Award for Best Revival from the London production.

In a new interview with Vulture, James talked about his workout routine for the play.

“I’m quite short and stocky, and when I start to work out, I get like a tank, and that’s how I want to play him — like a tank,” he said. “Part of my warm-up will be a bodyweight routine, but the theater got me weights, and now we do pull-ups as well.”

The play is running at BAM through May 22.
