The show’s current run at the Apollo Theatre comes to an end early March.
It has been confirmed that John Cleese’s stage adaptation of his BBC comedy will return to the West End this summer, playing at the Apollo Theatre from the 24th June until the 13th September.
Casting for the show’s return has yet to be announced.
The original television show was co-written by Cleese with Connie Booth, with the stage show being based on on three of the original TV episodes – ‘The Hotel Inspector’ and ‘The Germans’ from series one and ‘Communication Problems’ from series two.
Talking about the news, John Cleese said: “I’m delighted to announce the news that the Fawlty Towers stage show will be returning to the Apollo Theatre this June. It’s heart-warming that West End audiences still think Fawlty is as funny as ever. September this year will mark exactly 50 years since the first ever episode was broadcast on the BBC but here we are, all these years later, still making theatres rock with laughter.”
The production is directed by Caroline Jay Ranger (Only Fools and Horses the Musical), with the creative team also including: Set & Costume Designer Liz Ascroft, Lighting Designer Ian Scott, Casting Director Anne Vosser, Assistant Director Denise Ranger and Resident Director Chris Kiely.
