Squigs Says 'Allo to James Corden & British Comedy Sensation One Man, Two Guvnors

Capturing the manic energy of a spectacular farce on paper is a tall order, but that is just what Broadway.com resident artist Justin ‘Squigs’ Robertson set out to do when he headed to the Music Box Theatre to check out British import One Man, Two Guvors! James Corden takes center stage as the title’s "one man," the none-too-bright Francis Henshall, who ends up working for two low-rent thugs in 1960s Brighton. He’s flanked by the two “guvnors” he must keep apart (Oliver Chris and Jemima Rooper) with Tony nominee Tom Edden appropriately underfoot as the aging, pacemaker-fueled waiter Alfie. The hilarious characters played by Suzie Toase, Claire Lams and Daniel Rigby look on, backed up by Fred Ridgeway, Martyn Ellis and Trevor Laird. Take a look at these Squigs’ rendition of these colorful comedians, then see them in action on Broadway.
