Original Cast Reunites In HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY RADIO SHOW

Perfectly Normal Productions and The Entertainment Business for The Radio Theatre Company present the original cast - reunited live on stage - of The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy Radio Show- Live!

The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy by Douglas Adams stars Simon Jones as Arthur Dent Geoff McGivern as Ford Prefect, Susan Sheridan as Trillian MarK Wing-Davey as Zaphod Beeblebrox and the voice of Stephen Moore as Marvin The Paranoid Android. 

The Live Music Director is Philip Pope. The show is based on the novels by Douglas Adams, and is adapted, written and directed by Dirk Maggs.

The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy Radio Show became an instant and enduring classic on its launch as a radio series. Now Douglas Adams's immortal creation explodes back into life, re-born in a ground-breaking new stage production touring the UK next summer - a radio show like you never saw before - in surround sound, packed with laughter, robots, really wild sound effects and drinks with extremely silly names.

Members of the legendary Radio and TV casts are re-united for these live performances, led by Simon Jones as Arthur Dent, bringing to life the characters written for them in highlights from the entire Hitchhiker's Saga. They are joined on stage by a series of VIP Guest Voices Of The Book and supporting actors from Hitchhikers in all its Phases, and the 'radio' part of the show isn't a gimmick - each event will be recorded and available to download afterwards, becoming a genuine audio experience the audience can enjoy over and over again.

Directed by Dirk Maggs, Douglas Adams's choice to conclude the narrative in its original medium, The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy RADIO SHOW - Live! is an adventure which will introduce newcomers of all ages to Vogons, Babel Fish, Marvin the Paranoid Android and allow them to explore the unique and hilarious Whole General Mish Mash According To Douglas Adams.
Arthur Dent is having a bad day.

Douglas Adams's legendary comic sci-fi saga is packed with unique cultural and comedy 'firsts'. It spawned five Bestselling Novels, five award-winning BBC Radio Series, a Television Series and a Blockbuster Movie, not to mention a whole raft of expressions that have entered the English language. Translated into over 30 languages, it was voted Number One Audiobook Ever and the fourth Best Loved Book In Britain. Its unique, irreverent and hilarious views on everything from Tea-making to Towels have won it an ever-growing band of devoted readers, listeners and viewers.
