Leigh Zimmerman joins Patricia Hodge & Caroline Quentin in West End transfer of Relative Values

It has been announced that Leigh Zimmerman will join the cast of Relative Values next month when the comedy transfers to the Harold Pinter Theatre.

Zimmerman most recently won an Olivier Award for her portrayal of Sheila in the West End revival of A Chorus Line at the London Palladium. Her West End credits also include Chicago and The Producers. She will take on the role of Miranda Frayle in Noël Coward’s play about the uproarious culture clash between the glittering world of Hollywood and the stiff upper lip of the English aristocracy.

Relative Values opens at the Harold Pinter Theatre on Monday 14th April (previews from 19th March) and runs until 21st June 2014. Zimmerman joins the previously announced Patricia Hodge, Caroline Quentin, Rory Bremner and Ben Mansfield, all of whom starred in the play's run at the Theatre Royal Bath.
