Purchase TicketsBob Boyett announces the National Theatre of Great Britain’s acclaimed production of ONE MAN, TWO GUVNORS, a comedy by Richard Bean, based on Carlo Goldoni’s The Servant of Two Masters, with songs by Grant Olding, directed by Nicholas Hytner, will open at the Music Box Theatre (239 West 45th Street) on Broadway on April 18, 2012. Preview performances will begin Friday, April 6, 2012.
James Corden will lead the National Theatre company on Broadway
UK critics have called ONE MAN, TWO GUVNORS ‘one of the funniest productions in the National’s history’ (The Guardian), ‘deliriously daft and diabolically joke stuffed entertainment’ (The Independent), ‘pure comic bliss.’ (Evening Standard) and ‘James Corden gives a comic tour de force, the like of which hasn’t been seen in London for years.’ (Daily Mail).
The Broadway production follows a sold-out run that opened at the National Theatre in May; a UK tour; and, a 16-week run in London’s West End that began November 8, 2011.
James Corden is appearing with the support of Actors’ Equity Association. The Producers gratefully acknowledge Actors’ Equity Association for its assistance of this production.
In ONE MAN, TWO GUVNORS, Corden stars as “Francis Henshall” (“ONE MAN”). Always-famished and easily-confused, Henshall agrees to work for a local gangster as well as a criminal in hiding (“TWO GUVNORS”), both of whom are linked in a tangled web of schemes and romantic associations... none of which Francis can keep straight. So he has to do everything in his power to keep his two guvnors from meeting while trying to eat anything in sight along the way. Simple.
Falling trousers, flying fish heads, star-crossed lovers, cross-dressing mobsters and a fabulous on-stage band are just some of what awaits at the most “deliriously funny” (The Daily Telegraph) new play to cross the pond in decades.
The creative team for ONE MAN, TWO GUVNORS includes Mark Thompson (set & costumes), Cal McCrystal (Physical Comedy Director), Mark Henderson (lights) & Paul Arditti (sound).
ONE MAN, TWO GUVNORS will be produced on Broadway by Bob Boyett and the National Theatre of Great Britain.
