We have now had a cast announcement for The Miser, at the Garrick Theatre and we are now booking from 1st March through to 3rd June 2017.
We already knew that Griff Rhys Jones would be returning to the London stage, after a gap of 5 years. We now also know that BAFTA award winning comedian Lee Mack will join him, in his West End debut.
The show will be produced by Mark Goucher, and is newly adapted by Sean Foley and Phil Porter. Prior to opening at the Garrick on 1st March, the show will be presented at the Bath Theatre Royal and Richmond Theatre.
Both Lee Mack and Griff RhysJones are, of course, very well known for a wide range of shows and performances. Lee Mack is writer and star of Not Going Out, team captain on Would I Lie To You, host of Duck Quacks Don’t Echo, and a regular guest on a number of panel shows, including Have I Got News for You and Never Mind the Buzzcocks.
Griff Rhys Jones is not only well known for his partnership with Mel Smith, Not the Nine O’Clock News, Alas Smith and Jones but also an Olivier award winning actor, writer, presenter and comedian. His previous performances on stage include Fagin in Oliver!, and the title role in Charley’s Aunt.
