About the Show

A lavish revival of the classic musical as a high-society wedding unravels in comic turmoil.

This new staging presents a large cast and full orchestra in a production centered on a socialite’s wedding weekend, where former partners, new suitors, and an intrusive tabloid reporter complicate the planned celebration. Helen George leads the company as Tracy Lord, joined by Felicity Kendal, in a production featuring Cole Porter songs such as “Just One of Those Things,” “Let’s Misbehave,” and “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” Directed by Rachel Kavanaugh with choreography by Anthony Van Laast, the musical continues the creative team’s series of Golden Age revivals.

"It's the women who impress in this reworked, airy Cole Porter musical set among a glamorous but feckless American elite, with Helen George very much in the lead."
