In the heart of 1960's England, charming and doltish Francis, fired from his pop band, unexpectedly finds himself with two new jobs and two new bosses, who are connected to each other in wildly improbable ways. To prevent discovery, Francis must keep his two guvnors apart. Mistaken identities, outrageous farce, love triangles and inspired lunacy are the result.
In this new English version by prizewinning playwright Richard Bean, with songs and music by Grant Olding, sex, food and money are high on the agenda. The cast includes Luke Terry (Francis Henshall), Scott Hogg (Stanley Stubbers), Eddie Schumacher (Alfie), Molly Killoran (Rachel Crabbe), Jean Schuman (Dolly), Michael O'Shea(Charlie Clench), Lisa Ann Gaylord (Pauline Clench), Thomas Jennings (Alan Dangle), Wade Livingston (Harry Dangle), Lisa Young (Louella Boateng), Sebastian Wolfe (Gareth) and ensemble members Bonnie Greene and Michael Walsh.
