Half A Sixpence Visits Palace
October 19, 2007
Gary Wilmot (pictured) plays the lead role of Arthur Kipps in Half a Sixpence which opens at the Palace Theatre on Mon 29 October. Wilmot has starred in many musicals, including Me and My Girl, Copacabana, Oliver!, HMS Pinafore and, in 2006, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang at the London Palladium.
With music and lyrics by David Heneker and a book by Beverley Cross, the rags-to-riches-to-rags story of orphan Kipps, who inherits a vast fortune then has it embezzled away, is based on an HG Wells novel.
Perhaps best known as a film starring Tommy Steele, the show had its West End premiere in 1965, with Steele in the lead.
The new touring production is directed by Bob Tomson, designed by Alexander McPherson and produced by Bill Kenwright. The show also stars Chris Crosby, from the hit TV show Any Dream Will Do.
Half A Sixpence continues at the Palace until Sat 03 November.
