Breakout comic actor James Corden (The History Boys, BBC's "Gavin & Stacey") 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 web of schemes, extortions 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" (Daily Telegraph) play to cross the pond in decades. Directed by Tony® and Olivier Award winner Nicholas Hytner, Richard Bean's side-splitting comedy arrives on Broadway this spring, straight from a sold-out run in London's West End. « less

All aboard for the saucy and splendid new production of one of the greatest musicals in Broadway history. Cole Porter’s classic stars Tony Award® winner Sutton Foster (Thoroughly Modern Millie, The Drowsy Chaperone) and Tony Award and Academy Award® winner Joel Grey (Cabaret, Wicked), and is directed and choreographed by Tony Award winner Kathleen Marshall (The Pajama Game, Grease)! As the S.S. American heads out to sea, two unlikely pairs set off on the course to true love…proving that sometimes destiny needs a little help from a crew of singing sailors, an exotic disguise and some good old-fashioned blackmail. Peppering this hilariously bumpy ride are some musical theatre’s most memorable standards, including “I Get A Kick out of You,” “It’s De-lovely” and of course, “Anything Goes.” « less
