Now Showing!

There's nothing like a bombastic bobby dazzling Broadway musical to raise spirits and this homegrown production from Susan Stroman is here to prove just that! Premiering at the esteemed Chichester Festival in 2022 this exuberant new iteration of the Ken Ludwig, George and Ira Gershwin classic stars Charlie Stemp as starry-eyed Bobby, who finds himself caught between his passion for theatre and the dreary family banking business when he's sent to foreclose on a theatre in the desert of Nevada, with Carly Anderson as the spirited Polly Baker and Tom Edder as showman Bela Zangler. 

Featuring a veritable raft of George and Ira's most cherished tunes, including 'I Got Rhythm', 'Embraceable You', 'They Can't Take That Away From Me' and many, many more, head back to the heady 1930s with this buoyant song and dance spectacle!

What is the story?

Bobby Child may be the heir to a banking empire, but all he's ever really wanted is to be up on the stage. When his domineering mother assigns him the task of foreclosing a rundown theatre in a remote Nevada town, Bobby's dancing feet get the better of him, and he determines to disregard his assignment, and instead, restore the theatre to its former glory. Add the beautiful Polly, daughter of the theatre owner, into the mix, and it looks like Bobby's found his real calling. That is until his mother arrives on the scene, and threatens to put Bobby back on the straight and narrow!
