James Corden wins at the TONY AWARDS

James Corden saw off stiff competition last night to win the 2012 Tony Award for BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A PLAY for his performance as Francis Henshall in the critically acclaimed National Theatre production of ONE MAN, TWO GUVNORS. 

Richard Bean's re-working of the Goldoni classic, A Servant of Two Masters, directed by Nicholas Hytner has enjoyed great success both in London and now in New York.  The original cast including James Corden, Suzie Toase, Claire Lams and Fred Ridgeway can currently be seen at the Music Box Theater, New York, whilst Hannah Spearritt features in the cast at the Haymarket Theatre, London.
