High Society

Helen George and Felicity Kendal lead a new production of Cole Porter’s High Society!

The production is directed by Rachel Kavanaugh, with choreography by Anthony Van Laast and musical supervision by Stephen Ridley, who will lead a full orchestra. The musical is based on Philip Barry’s play The Philadelphia Story, with additional lyrics by Susan Birkenhead.

The score includes Porter standards such as “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire”, “I Love Paris”, “Well, Did You Evah?”, “Just One of Those Things”, “Let’s Misbehave”, “You’re Sensational” and “True Love”. The story follows preparations for a society wedding that begin to unravel as past relationships resurface and an intrusive reporter arrives.

Note: Felicity Kendal will not appear on tour
