HIGH SOCIETY

Clear your diary, because you’re invited to the most swell party of the year, Cole Porter’s High Society. The reviews are incredible!

This summer’s most eagerly anticipated production delivers another glorious dose of Golden Age musical theatre escapism at the Barbican and across the UK & Ireland.

Helen George (Call the Midwife, The King and I) stars as glamorous socialite Tracy Lord and is joined by Felicity Kendal (Rosemary and Thyme, Anything Goes) at the Barbican, alongside a full size orchestra, delivering 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.

Following the Barbican season, the musical will immediately embark on major 20-week UK and Ireland tour – starring Helen George – opening at the Wycombe Swan.

Join the 28-strong cast for this lavish new production as plans for the society wedding of the year descend into chaos, with old flames and new flames vying for attention as a sharp-eyed tabloid reporter hunts for scandal at the waterfront estate.

Performances at London’s Barbican Theatre from May 19 – July 11 and then traveling through the UK and Ireland. Tickets are on sale now.
