The Sunshine Boys is a great script which is brilliantly acted - Danny Devito is simply superb. I'm not sure how good the play would have been without Danny Devito as he really stole the show. He was excellent and I would thoroughly recommend this play to anyone - see Danny Devito while you can!

Very dated American comedy. My partner laughed at some things I just cringed. I am sure someone must have enjoyed it but certainly not me. I will admit that I am not a fan of either of the main characters in my opinion they are both well past their sale date.

This was a fantastic experience from start to finish....not enough to see the great Danny DeVito and the fabulous Richard Griffiths in person but I left the theatre with aching cheeks from the permanent smile etched there from scene one, second one!
I won't spoil any of the play for those yet to see it but I'll cut a long story short and state that I defy anyone to have more fun in a theatre in London this year!
Bravo boys!

Just seeing Danny DeVito in the flesh would have been enough for me, but actually all of the performances were dazzling - not only from Mr DeVito but also from Richard Griffiths. In fact the supporting cast was also brilliant. This was up there with the best shows I have seen anywhere. Beg, steal or borrow a ticket before the end of the run...

What a great performance. Thank you so much to the cast et al for a superb production - it was such fun and the comic timing was spot on. Danny DeVito worked so hard and he and Richard Griffiths were just wonderful together. The audience were spellbound - we left with such big smiles on our faces!

The Sunshine Boys at the Savoy is a great show. The patented Neil Simon New York humour is sharp and perfectly delivered by the ebullient Danny DeVito, who seems to explode out of the stage with vitality. Laugh-out-loud funny and a lovely eulogy of a showbiz era gone by, the recreation of the protagonists' famous Vaudeville routine that opens the second half is absolutely hilarious.

This is a first class production from beginning to end. Danny DeVito is outstanding and made the production an experience not to forget. Richard Griffiths is also not bad although his American accent kept slipping which was a shame.
A standing ovation was given, the whole production deserved it.

A wonderfully delivered play about friendship, the hardships of life and that in the end, we only have our friends. A great performance by true comedy legends.

I went and saw this with my father on my birthday, and it was unforgettable.

The only thing about this play, is that if you haven't experienced life in America, and American Television history over the last 50 years, and what it means to American Society, some of the essence may be lost in translation.

I enjoyed the performance, but not so my partner as he doesn't enjoy Jewish humour. I don't consider this to be one of the best of Neil Simon's works.
Danny DeVito and Richard Griffiths really put their all into it and couldn't be faulted.

You would not really think that bringing Danny de Vito and Richard Griffiths together on a London stage would work but it was sheer brilliance.
Throughout the play you could actually believe that these two had been the equivalent of an american Morecambe and Wise for 40 years.
The timing throughout was pure comic genius.
It was a laugh a minute.

This was sheer unadulterated joy. Danny DeVito is a master of comic timing. Although Richard Griffiths's accent slipped every now and again it did nothing to take away from the comic realism. I only ever saw the film ( a number of times) but thought the DeVito / Griffiths pairing every bit as perfect, even if the other way around!

What a superb production.

Sublime acting from every character and perfect comic timing from Danny DeVito.

A heart warming tale of two old geezers who, despite themselves, become friends again. It will make you feel good.

Saw the play in preview. Attracted by memories of the film with Walther Matthau and George Burns and the two leads of Danny de Vito and Richard Griffiths.
Thought De Vito was overprojecting - he seemed to be shouting his lines when the scene did not call for it. Griffiths appeared to be subdued.
Not as many laughs as had hoped.
Was disappointed when the characters performed together as the scenes were not very humourous and did not demonstrate the reasons why they had been so successful.
