Last chance to see Danny Devito and Richard Griffiths in award winning comedy The Sunshine Boys

Posted on 4 July 2012

After opening to great acclaim, Thea Sharrock’s production of Neil Simon’s The Sunshine Boys will complete its run at The Savoy Theatre on 28 July as previously announced.

With a cast led by Danny DeVito and Richard Griffiths as the ageing vaudevillian team Willie Clark and Al Lewis, The Sunshine Boys began its limited West End run in April this year.

 
Danny DeVito and Richard Griffiths are joined by Rebecca Blackstone as Miss MacKintosh, Nick Blakeley as Eddie, Peter Cadden as the Voice of TV Director, Johnnie Fiori as Registered Nurse, Adam Levy as Ben Silverman and William Maxwell as Patient.
 
Kings of comedy, Willie Clark and Al Lewis 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 television special, 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 this classic comedy of showbiz and friendship.  
 
The Sunshine Boys is produced by Sonia Friedman Productions, Richard Willis, Tulchin Bartner Productions, Roger Berlind and Rupert Gavin, in association with Olympus Theatricals and Scott & Brian Zeilinger, with designs by Hildegard Bechtler, lighting by Neil Austin, music by Adrian Johnston and sound by Ian Dickinson for Autograph.
