ROAD SHOW
The Menier Chocolate Factory is presenting the European premiere of Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman’s latest musical Road Show.
Road Show is the third collaboration between Sondheim and book writer John Weidman (Pacific Overtures and Assassins), but is not their first attempt with this material which has also been called Gold, Wise Guys and Bounce.
It tells the true boom-and-bust story of Addison Mizner and his fast-talking brother Wilson who were two of the most colourful and outrageous fortune seekers in American history. From panning for gold during the Alaskan Gold Rush to building the city of Boca Raton during the Florida property boom in the 1930’s, both were driven by the need to succeed - at whatever cost.
This production is directed and designed by the Tony Award-winning John Doyle and features an outstanding cast that includes: David Bedella, Gillian Bevan, Adrian Der Gregorian, Fiona Dunn, Sarah Ingram, Michael Jibson, Julie Jupp, Glyn Kerslake, Elizabeth Marsh, Christopher Ragland, Jon Robyns and Robbie Scotcher
THIS PRODUCTION CLOSED ON SATURDAY 17TH SEPTEMBER 2011
 Tuesday-Saturday 20:00. Matinees on Saturday & Sunday at 15:00 Running time 95 minutes (no interval) |
