Cast revealed for High Society in London and on tour

High Society will be revived in 2026 – and casting has been revealed!

We’ve detailed the summer London run and the tour in more detail here.

Set to star at the Barbican for a limited eight-week season will be Helen George and Felicity Kendal.

George will continue playing her role of Tracy Samantha Lord on the tour, which opens at Wycombe Swan immediately after the London stint.

She said she was “delighted” to be returning to the stage, adding: “Theatre is my first love and I adored playing the iconic role of Anna in The King and I, so I jumped at the chance to flex my musical comedy chops and play Tracy.

“Cole Porter’s musicals are packed with his signature wit, glamour and unforgettable tunes and High Society is no exception. I am also thrilled it will be launching at the Barbican before embarking on a major UK tour. I can’t wait for audiences to enjoy a sparkling evening of comedy, romance, and sheer musical joy.”

Kendal added: “I so enjoyed my time at the Barbican in Anything Goes, I couldn’t think of a more perfect summer treat and leapt at the chance to join this brand-new production…  There is nothing quite like the thrill of a live audience experiencing a great show together and nobody does musical comedy like the genius that is Cole Porter. I cannot wait to get started and I know that audiences are in for the perfect musical summer treat next year.”

The show will feature a cast of 28, and casting for both the London and tour productions will be announced soon.
