 ★★★★★ “An artistic triumph that has ‘West End-bound hit’ written all over it” Telegraph
Drew McOnie presents a major new stage adaptation of the Oscar winning movie The Artist.
Michel Hazanavicius’s hit 2011 film The Artist is brought to life on stage in a new adaptation by Award-winning director and choreographer Drew McOnie and Lindsey Ferrentino.
This beguiling love story is reinvented for the stage in a dazzling celebration of silent cinema that blends cutting-edge theatre-making with iconic music of the period.
The show stars Broadway’s Robbie Fairchild (An American in Paris), playing Silent Era matinee idol George Valentin, alongside West End star Gary Wilmot (Peter Pan, The Wizard of Oz) as studio boss Al Zimmer, and Briana Craig (Singing In the Rain, 42nd Street) as Peppy Miller.
The Artist is playing the Theatre Royal Plymouth from 11 to 25 May 2024, and is hotly tipped to be coming to the West End. Sign-up for our email alerts to be the first to know.
