BY JEEVES Extends At Landor Theatre Thru March 12

Due to unprecedented public demand, the 15th anniversary London production of Alan?Ayckbourn and Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical, By Jeeves, is extending its acclaimed run at the Landor Theatre by one week.

Initially booked to run a 5-week season until Saturday 5 March, the production will now end its run on Saturday 12 March.

By Jeeves, based on the stories of Bertie Wooster and his butler Jeeves by P.G. Wodehouse, is directed by Nick Bagnall ("Entertaining Mr Sloane" at Trafalgar Studios and the recent 50th anniversary production of "Billy Liar" at the West Yorkshire Playhouse). The new tap-inspired choreography is by Andrew Wright, who recently won rave reviews for "42nd Street" at Chichester Festival Theatre. Production design is by Morgan Large, whose West End credits include "Flashdance", "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" and?"Footloose"; Lighting Design is by Olivier Award-winning Mike Robertson ("Sunday in the Park With George") and his associate Howard Hudson; Sound?Design is by Matt McKenzie for Autograph.

By Jeeves is produced by Thomas Hopkins, Jason Haigh-Ellery, Julian Stoneman, Stage Live, Bruce?Robert Harris and?Jack W Batman.

By Jeeves features 13 delightful songs composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber with lyrics by Alan Ayckbourn. When Bertie Wooster's banjo mysteriously disappears just as he is about to give a concert in a church hall, his quick-witted and unflappable manservant Jeeves suggests that he entertain his audience by relating the hapless romantic misadventures of his circle of high-society London cronies...

Bertie Wooster is played by Kevin Trainor, seen recently as Billy in Jonathan?Harvey's "Canary" at Hampstead Theatre and Trent Conway in "Six Degrees of?Separation" at the Old?Vic. Jeeves is being played Paul M. Meston (Paul in Steven Berkoff's "Messiah:?Scenes from an Execution"). The cast is completed by Brendan Cull as Harold "Stinky"?Pinker; Owain Rhys Davies as "Bingo"; Helen George as Madeleine; Tim Hudson as Sir Watkyn Bassett; Jenni Maitland as "Stiffy"; David Menkin, "Cyrus"; Charlotte?Mills, "Honoria"; and Andrew Pepper as "Gussie".
