High Society

Clear your diary, because you’re invited to the most swell party of the year.
Hailed as five-star “pure theatrical escapism” by the Times and “studded with diamond performances from a top-notch cast” (Financial Times), _High Society_ is coming to Canterbury direct from the sell-out season in the West End!
Helen George ( _Call the Midwife_, _The King and I_) leads a 28-strong cast as glamorous socialite Tracy Lord, joined by stage and screen favourites Freddie Fox ( _Slow Horses_), Nigel Lindsay ( _Kiss Me, Kate_), Julian Ovenden ( _South Pacific_), and Malcolm Sinclair ( _Pie in the Sky_). As plans for the society wedding of the year descend into chaos, old and new flames vie for attention while a sharp-eyed tabloid reporter hunts for a scandal at a waterfront estate.
Performed alongside a full-size orchestra, this lavish new production features 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.
Brought to life by a multi-award-winning creative team, including director Rachel Kavanaugh and choreographer Anthony Van Laast, _High Society_ declares the summer season officially open!
