Top Hat

Jerry Travers (Tom Chambers), the famous American tap dancer, arrives in London to appear in his first West End show. Travers meets the irresistible Dale Tremont (Summer Strallen), the girl of his dreams, and follows her across Europe in an attempt to win her heart.

Nominated for four Academy Awards Top Hat is widely regarded as one of the greatest dance musicals of all time and the most successful picture of the nine movies Astaire and Rogers made together. Top Hat premiered at the Radio City Music Hall where it broke all box office records. Within a few weeks, all five songs from the film occupied the top five places on the American Hit Parade.

Performed by a cast of 31 and accompanied by a live band of 15, this new musical comedy will include Irving Berlin classics from the movie such as “Cheek to Cheek,” “Isn’t It a Lovely Day to be Caught in the Rain,” and “Top Hat White Tie and Tails.” In addition, from Berlin’s 1200 strong back catalogue, a further ten numbers have been interpolated including “Let’s Face the Music and Dance” and “I’m Putting All My Eggs in One Basket.”
