It has been announced that the West End production of One Man, Two Guvnors will close on 1st March 2014, prior to a UK and Ireland tour beginning in May 2014. 

One Man, Two Guvnors, which has been seen by over one million people worldwide and will be the longest running show at the Theatre Royal Haymarket in almost 200 years, will have played almost 900 London performances when it completes its West End run.

Owain Arthur returns to the production as Francis Henshall on 23rd September 2013. He will be joined by Angela Griffin as Dolly, Kellie Shirley as Pauline Clench, Peter Caulfield as Alfie and Dominic Thorburn as Alan Dangle.

Current cast members Sam Alexander as Stanley Stubbers, David Benson as Gareth, Ian Burfield as Charlie Clench, Amy Cudden as Rachel Crabbe, Derek Elroy as Lloyd Boateng and Hugh Sachs as Harry Dangle will continue in their roles. Mensah Bediako, Sophie Cosson, Stephen Leask, Nadim Naaman, Gemma Salter and Patrick Warner make up the ensemble.

One Man, Two Guvnors opened at the National Theatre in May 2011. In November that year, after its first UK tour, the show transferred to the Adelphi Theatre where it completed a sell out run. The show then transferred to the Theatre Royal Haymarket where it will continue to play until its final West End performance on 1st March 2014. 

 The Broadway production of One Man, Two Guvnors completed a successful run at the Music Box Theater in 2012. A second UK tour ran from September 2012 to February 2013 and the International tour recently completed its run at the Arts Centre, Melbourne, having played across Australia as well as Hong Kong and New Zealand.
