Photo Flash: First Look at First Ever UK Production of ROAD SHOW at The Union Theatre

Following the successful transfer to the Menier Chocolate Factory of the New York Production of ROAD SHOW in 2011, the Union Theatre and the Phil Willmott Company are thrilled to be creating the first ever UK production of Sondheim's latest hit. With Music & Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, Book by John Weidman and Orchestrations by Jonathan Tunick, ROAD SHOW began last night 3rd February and runs through 5th March 2016 at The Union Theatre. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!

At the turn of the last century old Pa Meisner sends his sons, the charming and ruthless Wilson and the thoughtful unambitious Addison off to make their fortune. The ill-matched pair embark on the story of their lifetime across the U.S. stopping off at some of the key moments which shaped modern America. A moving story of love, antagonism and reconciliation between two brothers, events in Road Show mirror a mighty nation in transition.

Prominently featuring a romance between Addison and an idealistic young male artist, ROAD SHOW also includes Sondheim's first openly gay characters and one of his most haunting love songs, notably sung by one man to another.

ROAD SHOW is the latest production in the Union's long association with the musicals of Stephen Sondheim. It is director, Phil Willmott's first production of the celebrated composer/lyricists work following an acclaimed revival ofFinian's Rainbow which transferred to central London and the transfer from Liverpool Playhouse of his own musical Once Upon a Time at the Adelphi.

Presented by arrangement with Josef Weinberger Limited on behalf of Music Theatre International of New York. Performances run Tuesday - Saturday at 7.30pm and Saturday/Sunday at 2.30pm. Tickets: £20 (Concessions £17). Click here for more information.
