Clear your diary because you’re invited to the coolest party of the year, Cole Porter’s, High Society.
This summer’s most anticipated production, hot on the heels of Anything Goes and Kiss Me, Kate delivers another glorious dose of golden age musical theater escapism at the Barbican.
Helen George (Call the Midwife, The King and I) stars as the glamorous Tracy Lord in the parish, joined by Felicity Kendal (Rosemary and Thyme, Anything Goes) and a full orchestra to perform a score filled with the best of Cole Porter’s songbook, including Just One Of The Things, Paris W, I Love, Millaion, Let’s Love a Misbeha? Well, Evah, True Love and more.
Join the 28-strong cast in this lavish new production as plans for the society’s wedding of the year descend into chaos as old flames and new flames compete for attention as a sharp-eyed tabloid reporter chases scandal at a beachside estate.
Brought to life by a multi-award winning creative team including Rachel Kavanaugh and choreographer Anthony Van Laast. Cole Porter’s High Society declares the summer season officially open!
