Patrick Marber directs, and is joined on the creative team by choreographer Lorin Latarro, set designer Scott Pask, costume designer Paul Farnsworth, lighting designer Tim Lutkin, sound designer Paul Groothius, wigs, hair and makeup designer Betty Martini, musical supervisor and dance arranger Gareth Valentine, musical director Matthew Samer, and orchestrators by Larry Blank and Mark Cumberland.
In a four-star review for LondonTheatre.co.uk, our critic said of the Menier run: "From sparkly swastikas and countless Hitler moustaches, to sex-obsessed, Bialystock-worshipping grannies forming a chorus line with their Zimmer frames (excellent choreography by Lorin Latarro), Marber’s energetic production delights in crazy caricatures and camp spectacle."
