Top Hat The Musical is on UK tour after 10 years

The tour will be launched at Chichester Festival Theatre on 14th July

It’s been 10 years since Top Hat The Musical last toured the UK — and now, this Olivier Award-winning production is finally back.

Step into a world of elegance, romance, and dazzling dance as the golden age of Hollywood is brought to life on stage. Based on the classic 1935 film starring Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, Top Hat features some of Irving Berlin’s greatest songs, including Cheek to Cheek, Let’s Face the Music and Dance, Top Hat, White Tie and Tails, and Puttin’ on the Ritz.

The story follows Broadway star Jerry Travers as he arrives in London and falls head over heels for model Dale Tremont. But a case of mistaken identity, a fiery Italian admirer, and an unexpected trip to Venice make the path to true love anything but smooth.

Directed and choreographed by Kathleen Marshall (Anything Goes), this brand-new UK tour brings all the glamour and charm of the golden age of Hollywood back to the stage for the first time in a decade.

Cast and creatives are yet to be announced.
