text: Wolf Hall writer Hilary Mantel's award-winning second novel Bring Up The Bodies has been renamed for the American stage. The bestselling author, who once pledged not to dumb down her work ahead of its BBC debut, has revised the theatrical adaptation of her Tudor novels for a run on Broadway. In preparation, the title of her second book Bring Up the Bodies has been ditched in favour of the simpler 'Wolf Hall II'. Booker Prize award-winner Mantel, who has been reworking Mike Poulton's stage version, has also cut 'a lot of repetition' to create a tighter, better play. Scroll down for video . The bestselling author has revised the theatrical adaptation of her Tudor novels for a run on Broadway (pictured is Ben Miles as Thomas Cromwell and Lydia Leonard as Anne Boleyn) With more than 1,000 pages of historical drama, the story of the rise and fall of Thomas Cromwell - who goes from a Blacksmith's son to one of the most powerful men in Tudor court - was never a simple read. The plays, produced by the Royal Shakespeare company and London's Playful Productions, will open at the Winter Garden Theatre in Times Square tomorrow and features the original British cast as well as director Jermey Herrin. And Mantel is convinced it will be a hit on Broadway. Warning: Hilary Mantel said she believed that the Broadway version of her books will be a hit . The British cast, including Miles as Thomas Cromwell and Paul Jesson as Cardinal Wolsey, will be going over to the U.S. as they prepare for the Broadway adaption which opens tomorrow . Nathaniel Parker, who won an Olivier award for his role as Henry VIII in the stage version of Wall Hall, told the Evening Standard: 'The play is better now than it was in London. 'Hilary has had a go at re-working it and she's cut a lot of repetition out and brought in her own words. 'I think audiences will love it.' The story was recently brought to the small screen in the BBC adaption starring  Damian Lewis as Henry VIII and Mark Rylance as his adviror Thomas Cromwell. The mini-series received rave reviews when it aired earlier this year, and was dubbed BBC 2's most successful drama in a decade after drawing in four million viewers. Critics praised its story, acting and historical accuracy as makers went to such great lengths to recreate the Tudor period they used only candlelight to illuminate night-time scenes, filmed on location using special cameras. Actor Damian Lewis played Henry VIII in the hit television adaptation on  BBC of Mantel's award-winning story . Mantel, who saw sales of her books boosted by the adaptation, had said ahead of the BBC version that she refused to 'dumb down' to suit a broad television audience. The author had warned the adaption was 'complex', and she would not reduce it to 'clichés and over-simplifications'. The plays, written by Mike Poulton, sold out at Stratford-upon-Avon and quickly transferred to London, where they received critical raves, broke box office records and triumphed as the West End's biggest hit plays. Reprising their performances from the London production, Ben Miles as Cromwell, Nathaniel Parker as Henry VIII and Lydia Leonard as Anne Boleyn will be going over to Broadway. Mantel is currently writing her third novel in the Cromwell trilogy titled The Mirror and The Light.
