About the Show

Glitz, glamour, and Gershwin-level charm—Irving Berlin’s dance-filled love story soars.

Based on the beloved 1935 film starring Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, Top Hat follows Broadway sensation Jerry Travers as he travels to London to headline a new show. His arrival takes an unexpected turn when he disturbs model Dale Tremont with his late-night tap dancing, sparking a series of mistaken identities, romantic complications, and glamorous misadventures that sweep from London to Venice.

The musical features Irving Berlin’s timeless score, including Cheek to Cheek, Let’s Face the Music and Dance, Top Hat, White Tie and Tails, and Puttin’ on the Ritz. Witty dialogue, stylish choreography, and lavish design combine to capture the elegance and humor of Hollywood’s Golden Age.

This new production is directed and choreographed by Tony and Olivier Award winner Kathleen Marshall (Anything Goes), bringing a fresh energy to the Olivier Award-winning West End hit that earned acclaim for Best New Musical and Best Night Out.

"This production may play it too safe, but in moments like these, it is easy to see why Top Hat was such a hit when it first graced stages back in 2011 and continues to charm."

"If any of the TikTok generation stray into this flat Top Hat – and there weren’t any visible in the audience I was part of – I suspect they’ll wonder what all the fuss was about."

"The main drawback, though, is that stuffing the piece with so many extra songs stretches the whole thing to two and a half hours"
