Kings of comedy, Willie Clark (Danny DeVito) and Al Lewis (Richard Griffiths) aka The Sunshine Boys haven’t spoken to each other in years. When CBS call for the vaudevillian greats to be re-united for a nostalgic History of Comedy, past grudges resurface as they take centre stage once more. Ageing ailments aside, can this legendary double-act overcome their differences for one last show? Old rivalry and vintage hilarity abound in Neil Simon’s classic comedy of showbiz and friendship.
The Sunshine Boys takes over the Savoy Theatre from Legally Blonde from the 27th April for a strictly limited run. Regular readers will know that I've been on a mission to find a truly laugh out loud comedy, could this be it? I've got a lot of faith in Neil Simon and with a cast and crew like this - how could it possibly go wrong? Roll on April!
Tickets are available from http://www.sunshineboystheplay.com/ or by calling 0844 871 7687
P.S. Won't it be nice to have some celebrities in the West End who haven't won a talent show but have talent! *This is not a reference to The Wizard of Oz...
