About the show

The glorious Top Hat waltzes onto the London stage after a successful UK tour. Eighty years after the Fred Astaire and Ginger Rodgers film was released it has finally become a dazzling hit musical. Set in the 1930's this show bubbles with charm and class, featuring the stunning skills of Gavin Lee and Kristin Beth Williams along with a talented ensemble, Irving Berlin's classic score comes alive. The show was recently rewarded with 3 Laurence Olivier Awards, including the highly prestigious 'Best New Musical' award. It has proved to be so popular with older audience members and visitors to London, and now features an additional midweek matinee performance. New York dancer Jerry Travers comes to London for a gala performance, and stays in the same hotel as Dale Tremont, catching her attention by tap dancing on her ceiling. As the two eventually meet, their love-hate relationship blossoms, and Jerry decides to pursue her all over London. Mistaken identities along with a trip to Italy create comedic madness, as this screw-ball comedy hurtles towards its conclusion in the most glamorous fashion. The sumptuous score features new arrangements of classic songs such as 'Cheek to Cheek', 'Let's Face the Music', and 'Top Hat, White Tie and Tails'. This is one of the West End's most glamorous new musicals and is not to be missed.
