High Society

Clear your diary, because you’re invited to the most swell party of the year, Cole Porter’s, High Society.

Hot on the heels of Anything Goes and Kiss Me, Kate, this summer’s most eagerly anticipated production delivers another glorious dose of Golden Age musical theatre escapism at the Barbican.

Helen George (Call the Midwife, The King and I) stars as glamorous socialite Tracy Lord and is joined by Felicity Kendal (Rosemary and Thyme, Anything Goes), alongside a full size orchestra, delivering a score overflowing with the best of Cole Porter’s songbook including Just One Of Those Things, Let’s Misbehave, I Love Paris, Who Wants To Be a Millionaire?, Well, Did you Evah, True Love and many more.

Join the 28-strong cast for this lavish new production as plans for the society wedding of the year descend into chaos, with old flames and new flames vying for attention as a sharp-eyed tabloid reporter hunts for scandal at the waterfront 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!
