The Third Man - A Musical Thriller brings Graham Greene's iconic post-war noir to the stage, a collaboration rooted in a rich lineage of theatre and cinema. Directed for the stage by Trevor Nunn, with a score by George Fenton and lyrics by Don Black and Christopher Hampton, this production offers a compelling blend of suspense, drama, and evocative musical storytelling. Originally developed by Vereinigte Bühnen Wien (VBW) in Vienna, the show then received an official London staging by Menier Chocolate Factory, marking a notable entry in modern musical theatre. The London premiere ran from June 10 to September 9, 2023, featuring Sam Underwood as Holly Martins and Natalie Dunne as Anna Schmidt, with a creative team including Paul Farnsworth (set), Emma Chapman (lighting), Gregory Clarke (sound), and Tamara Saringer (musical supervision). While there are no publicly announced 2025 tour dates or a commercial cast recording at this time, fans can stay tuned for future developments.
