Cole Porter Revival
Grammy nominee Helen George (Call The Midwife; Cinderella) stars in Cole Porter's legendary feel-good musical, High Society, on an epic 20-date UK tour following a gorgeously re-imagined revival at London's Barbican. Directed by Rachel Kavanaugh (Clueless The Musical), the revival features choreography from Anthony Van Laast CBE (Kate Bush; Sister Act) and musical backing from a full orchestra, lead by music supervisor Stephen Ridley. Originally premiered in 1997, the musical is based on 1939 play The Philadelphia Story and its 1956 film adaptation starring Bing Crosby, Grace Kelly and Frank Sinatra.
