Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Radio Show (Manc) breaks

Douglas Adams’ magnum opus, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy has been recast in many formats. There has been a television series, a film, a series of books and a number of stage shows, while inspiring computer games and early internet spin-offs. However, it was the radio where it all began and the radio is the medium in which Douglas Adams chose to complete the five phase saga.

And now the stars from this work of audible genius are reuniting for a unique onstage show. You will see Simon Jones, Susan Sheridan, Geoff McGivern and the others perform on this Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy radio show break. For those who have never heard the radio show, prepare to laugh hysterically loud!

Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy radio show breaks are designed to delight your ears, while the excitement of a live show can make every sense alive to the occasion, which may make you wonder how a radio show can be successful on stage? The original director, Dirk Maggs, returns with some tricks up his sleeve to bring this superb script to life with live music, impressive lights shows, visual effects and our old friend Marvin the paranoid android. The role of The Book is played by a special guest star, so be prepare to be star struck in more ways than one.

“An evening of many incidental joys as we are reunited with fine line after fine line…an imaginative and entertaining celebration” - The Times

“Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Radio Show gets a big thumbs-up…a fun ride.” - Daily Mail

“It's a fitting tribute to the mind that created it all, Douglas Adams” - British Comedy Guide

• The film and television series are most commonly known among non H2G2 fans, but they only cover the first of five fantastic phases
• On 8th October, the book will be voiced by Danny John-Jules (famous for playing Cat in Red Dwarf) and on 9th October, it will be voiced by critically aclaimed comedian, Shappi Khorsandi.
  
• Marvin the paranoid android was originally only to appear for a one off joke but he became an instant fan favourite and, with the encouragement of the original producer of the radio show, Geoffrey Perkins, Douglas Adams went on to develop Marvin into the famous character he is today
