Kenny Wax and Jonathan Church Theatre Productions present the Chichester Festival Theatre Production Top Hat

Music and Lyrics by Irving Berlin
Based on RKO’s Motion Picture
Adapted for the stage by Matthew White & Howard Jacques

Top Hat is a dazzling stage adaptation of the classic 1935 Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers movie. With music and lyrics by Irving Berlin, the show features timeless classics such as “Cheek to Cheek,” “Let’s Face the Music and Dance,” and “Puttin’ on the Ritz.

The story follows Broadway star Jerry Travers, who falls for model Dale Tremont in a case of mistaken identity, leading to a whirlwind of romance, comedy, and glamour. Set against a backdrop of lavish sets and elegant costumes, the production is directed and choreographed by Tony and Olivier Award-winner Kathleen Marshall. Phillip Attmore stars as Jerry, with Lucy St. Louis as Dale, supported by a vibrant ensemble.

This new production promises an effervescent theatrical experience full of charm, wit, and spectacular choreography. An irresistible celebration of classic Hollywood and musical theatre magic.

Further principle casting to be announced.

Cast and performance schedule subject to change without notice.
