A well-received live version of hit TV show Fawlty Towers - Live is coming to New Zealand - but it features none of the original cast.
Instead, Fawlty Towers - Live - based on on the hilarious and much-loved BBC TV series - features an all-new cast hand-picked by creator and co-writer, John Cleese.
The show will head to Auckland's Bruce Mason Centre from February 3, Christchurch's Isaac Theatre Royal from February 21 and Wellington's St James Theatre from March 7.

Cleese draws from his personal favourite moments from the TV series in this stage adaptation, which follows the antics of Basil Fawlty, one of British TV's most iconic characters.
