Rehearsal images have been released today of award-winning actor and writer Rob Madge as Alex in Jonathan Tolins’ Buyer & Cellar. Today, the producers announce that Joseph Hewlett (Alex in Madagascar The Musical (UK International Tour)), will understudy Rob in the role of Alex More.

Buyer & Cellar opens next week 18 September – 19 October at London’s King’s Head, followed by 29 October – 2 November at The Drum, Theatre Royal Plymouth.

Ten years after the critically acclaimed Off-Broadway production starring Michael Urie closed, this outrageous comedy about the price of fame, the cost of things, and the oddest of odd jobs returns to the capital followed by a week at The Drum, Theatre Royal Plymouth from 29 October – 2 November.

       

Directed by Kirk Jameson (Simon Stephens’ Song From Far Away), this hilarious one-person show tells the story of Alex (Rob Madge), an out-of-work actor who finds himself working beneath Barbra Streisand’s Malibu home in her legendary basement shopping mall. Rob Madge is best known for writing and starring in their hit show My Son’s a Queer (But What Can You Do?), which won the 2022 WhatsOnStage Award for Best Off-West End show and, following two West End runs, was nominated for a 2023 Laurence Olivier Award.

Written by Jonathan Tolins, known for his work on Schmigadoon! and The Good Fight and as showrunner of the new hit series Elsbeth, this production will be directed by Kirk Jameson (Song From Far Away, Madagascar The Musical) with scenographer Ingrid Hu (Song From Far Away, Chotto Xenos), lighting design by Jack Weir (To Wong Foo The Musical, Death Drop), composition and sound design by Emily Rose Simons (Miss Julie, Pickle), wig design by Craig Forrest-Thomas (Hairspray, The Magic Flute) and stage management by Rosie Morgan (The Artist, My Son’s a Queer (But What Can You Do?)).
