Mel Giedroyc features in the musical adaption of David Nicholls’ cult novel and film

University Challenge hits the stage!

Acclaimed actress, presenter, comedian and writer Mel Giedroyc is to join the cast of Starter For Ten, the musical based on David Nicholls’ book and cult film which will run at Bristol Old Vic from 29 February – 30 March.

I'm sure there will be more than a few sighs of relief down the corridors of the National Theatre at the deservedly raptuous reception for The Witches, the latest attempt to bring a hit show to the stage at this lucrative time of year. 'We're not women, we're hell' is not a line you would expect at a family show, but Lyndsey Turner's production combines exuberant fun, quick-witted comedy and a positive attitude towards death to produce an entralling, clever and incredibly funny production.

The 1980s-set coming-of-age story explores love and social class against the backdrop of the legendary British quiz show University Challenge .
