High Society Tickets

You're invited to the party of the year with glamourous socialite Tracy Lord from Oyster Bay, who is set to wed an equally pretentious executive. Planning is underway for this dazzling high society wedding, but preparations soon descend into chaos when Tracy's ex-husband arrives on the scene. Old flames and new flames clash for Tracy's favour while an eagle-eyed tabloid reporter hunts for a whiff of scandal on this sprawling waterfront estate. First premiering on Broadway in 1998, with multiple revivals following, High Society features the joyful, witty music of American composer and songwriter Cole Porter, making it one of his most enduring musical legacies.

Directed by Rachel Kavanaugh (Shadowlands), with a book by Arthur Kopit, music and lyrics by Cole Porter (Kiss Me, Kate, Anything Goes), and choreography by Anthony Van Laast (Mamma Mia! Kiss Me, Kate), High Society is a sumptuous, dazzling, and witty classic picked with glamour, mistaken identity, romance, and comedy. Helen George (Call the Midwife, The King and I) stars as Tracy, along with Felicity Kendal (Rosemary and Thyme, Anything Goes) as her mother, as well as a 28-strong ensemble cast and a full size orchestra. This lavish production features a score filled with Porter's classic and beloved songs such as 'Just One Of Those Things', 'Let's Misbehave', 'I Love Paris', 'Who Wants To Be a Millionaire?', and many more. George said, “I can't wait for audiences to enjoy a sparkling evening of comedy, romance, and sheer musical joy”.

Funny and glamorous, High Society will be your perfect summer treat for London audiences at the Barbican.
