One Man, Two Guvnors

“The most criminally funny theater I’ve ever seen. If you’re not having a good time at this show, you may be on the wrong medication.” – David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter

“Evenings like this seem to pass this way but rarely. If I had my druthers, I’d make its restorative powers a compulsory item on any prescription for a full and happy life.” – Peter Marks, Washington Post

"Marvelous! This isn't just an expert demo in comedy fundamentals but a full cross-section diagram of Why We Laugh." -Scott Brown, New York Magazine

Bob Boyett presents the National Theatre of Great Britain’s acclaimed production of ONE MAN, TWO GUVNORS on Broadway at the Music Box Theatre (239 West 45^th Street).

ONE MAN, TWO GUVNORS is a comedy by Richard Bean, based on Carlo Goldoni’s The Servant of Two Masters, with songs by Grant Olding, directed by Nicholas Hytner.

James Corden stars as “Francis Henshall” in ONE MAN, TWO GUVNORS with Oliver Chris as “Stanley Stubbers”, Jemima Rooper as “Rachel Crabbe”, Tom Edden as “Alfie”, Martyn Ellis as “Harry Dangle”, Trevor Laird as “Lloyd Boateng”, Claire Lams as “Pauline Clench”, Fred Ridgeway as “Charlie Clench”, Daniel Rigby as “Alan Dangle”, Suzie Toase as “Dolly”. The company also includes Brian Gonzales, Eli James, Ben Livingston as “Gareth”, Sarah Manton, Stephen Pilkington, David Ryan Smith, Natalie Smith.

The production’s on stage band, “The Craze,” includes Jacob Colin Cohen on Drums & Percussion, Austin Moorhead on Lead Guitar, Jason Rabinowitz on Lead Vocals and Charlie Rosen on Bass, Matt Cusack and Zach Jones.

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 has been nominated for the following awards on Broadway: Seven Tony Awards including Best Performance by an Actor in a Play (James Corden), Best Performance by a Featured Actor in a Play (Tom Edden), Best Direction of a Play (Nicholas Hytner), Best Original Score (Grant Olding), Best Scenic Design in a Play (Mark Thompson), Best Costume Design in a Play (Mark Thompson), and Best Sound Design of a Play(Paul Arditti); Two Drama League Awards including Distinguished Production of a Play and the Distinguished Performance Award (James Corden); Three Drama Desk Awards including Outstanding Actor in a Play (James Corden), Outstanding Featured Actor in a Play (Tom Edden) and Outstanding Music in a Play (Grant Olding); Four Outer Critic Circle Awards including Outstanding New Broadway Play, Outstanding Director of a Play (Nicholas Hytner), Outstanding Actor in a Play (James Corden), and Outstanding Featured Actor in a Play (Tom Edden).
