A Noise Within Brings Tony Award-Winning Broadway Comedy to Pasadena Stage

Fast-paced comedy about a man juggling two bosses has its preview Sept. 5
Published on Aug 28, 2025

A Noise Within will present “One Man, Two Guvnors,” the Broadway comedy that earned James Corden a Tony Award and transforms Carlo Goldoni’s 18th-century Italian classic into a raucous 1960s Brighton, England romp, when a preview performance is held Friday, Sept. 5 at 7:30 p.m.

The fast-paced farce by Richard Bean follows Francis Henshall, a down-on-his-luck man juggling two employers simultaneously without either knowing about the other.

Comic chaos ensues as he scrambles to maintain his duplicitous act while hilarious misunderstandings multiply.

Julia Rodriguez-Elliott and Geoff Elliott will direct this modern adaptation of “The Servant of Two Masters,” featuring physical comedy, quick wit, and a live skiffle band performing songs composed by Grant Olding.

The production will run on A Noise Within’s intimate Redmond Stage, which seats 324 patrons with no seat more than eight rows from the stage.

The show has a running time of two hours and 30 minutes, including one intermission.

Tickets start at $51.50 and are available at https://www.anoisewithin.org/play/one-man-two-guvnors/ or by calling 626-356-3100, extension 1.
