'The Grand Tour' at Finborough Theatre on now until 21 February

For those of my followers who live in or near London, I thought you may be interested to see the following:

France, 1940. Jacobowsky, a Polish Jewish intellectual, has been one step ahead of the Nazis for years. Stjerbinsky, an aristocrat, anti semitic Polish colonel, is desperately trying to get to England. Jacobowsky has purchased a car he doesn’t know how to drive. The Colonel knows how to drive, but has no car. When the two meet at a Paris hotel, they agree to join forces in order to escape the approaching Nazis. Together with the Colonel’s girlfriend, Marianne, they begin their perilous, challenging and adventurous journey on the road to freedom. Featuring one of Jerry Herman's most engrossing and heartfelt scores, The Grand Tour finds beauty, light and humour in one of history's darkest hours. Opening on Broadway in 1979, The Grand Tour marked Herman’s return to Broadway after almost a decade away, and it finally makes its European première at the Finborough Theatre. “Though you may admire what other mighty men have done, You top them all when you do one extraordinary thing” Director Thom Southerland Choreographer Cressida Carré Musical Director Joanna Cichonska Set Designer Phil Lindley Costume Designer Sophia Simensky Lighting Designer Derek Anderson Sound Designer Max Pappenheim Producer & Casting Director Danielle Tarento http://thegrandtour.tarento.net Dates 1st January - 21st February 2015 Tuesday - Saturday @ 7.30pm Saturday and Sunday matinees @ 3pm (no Saturday matinee on 10th January, extra Friday matinee on 20th February) Prices: Previews (1 - 4 January) £14 all seats 6 - 25 January: £20, £16 concessions, except Tuesday evenings £16 all seats, and Friday and Saturday evenings £20 all seats 27 January - 21 February: £22, £18 concessions, except Tuesday evenings £18 all seats, and Friday and Saturday evenings £22 all seats £10 tickets for under 30’s for performances from Tuesday to Sunday of the first week when booked online only £12 tickets for residents of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea on Saturday 10 January when booked online only Box office: In person: one hour before each performance By phone: 0844 847 1652 8am-8pm Mon-Fri 8am-6pm Sat & Sun Online: Click Here Venue: Finborough Theatre 118 Finborough Road London SW10 9ED
