High Society
Clear your diary, because you’re invited to the most swell party of the year.
Music & lyrics by Cole Porter
Book by Arthur Kopit
Additional lyrics by Susan Birkenhead
Based on the play The Philadelphia Story by Philip Barry
Helen George (Call the Midwife, The King and I) leads the cast as the glamorous Tracy Lord, joined by stage and screen favourites Freddie Fox (Slow Horses) and Julian Ovenden (South Pacific). The show also stars Nigel Lindsay (Kiss Me, Kate) and Malcolm Sinclair (Pie in the Sky).
Performed alongside a full-size orchestra, this lavish new production features a score overflowing with the best of Cole Porter’s songbook, including Just One of Those Things, Let’s Misbehave, I Love Paris, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, Well, Did You Evah!, True Love, and many more.
Join the 28-strong cast as plans for the society wedding of the year descend into chaos, with old and new flames vying for attention as a sharp-eyed tabloid reporter hunts for scandal at a waterfront estate.
Brought to life by a multi-award-winning creative team, including director Rachel Kavanaugh and choreographer Anthony Van Laast, High Society declares the summer season officially open!
Recommended 8yrs+
Please note that Helen George will not be performing on Tue 27 Oct and Wed 28 Oct.
