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 Producer gratefully acknowledges 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).

The Broadway production follows a sold-out run that opened at The National Theatre in May; a UK tour; and, a sold out run in London's West End that began in fall 2011. ONE MAN, TWO GUVNORS recently won the Evening Standard and the London Critics Circle Awards.

ONE MAN, TWO GUVNORS is produced on Broadway by Bob Boyett and The National Theatre of Great Britain.
