★★★★★ Sparkling, joyous, blissfully effervescent

Daily Mail

Music and Lyrics by Irving Berlin

Based on RKO’s Motion Picture

Adapted for the stage by Matthew White & Howard Jacques

Based on the classic 1935 RKO movie starring Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, Top Hat is a sparkling romantic cocktail laced with witty comedy, stunning choreography and tap-dancing brilliance, brought to life on stage with lavish sets and gorgeous costumes. Irving Berlin’s irresistible score includes some of Hollywood’s greatest songs, the immortal Cheek to Cheek, Let’s Face the Music and Dance, Top Hat White Tie and Tails and Puttin’ on the Ritz.

When Broadway star Jerry Travers arrives in London to open a new show, he crosses paths with model Dale Tremont whose beauty sleep is rudely interrupted by Jerry tap dancing in the hotel suite above hers. Instantly smitten, Jerry vows to abandon his bachelor life to win her – but the path of true love never does run smooth.

The 26 strong cast is led by Phillip Attmore (So You Think You Can Dance) as Jerry Travers and Nicole-Lily Baisden (42nd Street) as Dale Tremont, with Emma Williams (Half A Sixpence) as Madge Hardwick, James Hume as Horace Hardwick (Kiss Me Kate), James Clyde (Matilda the Musical) as Bates and Alex Gibson-Giorgio (Mamma Mia!) as Alberto Beddini.

Put on your top hat, brush off your tails and let this joyous romantic musical comedy sweep you off your feet!

Reviews
