Why see Top Hat?

There May Be Trouble Ahead

Top Hat is a decadent trip down memory lane, to the golden age of 1920 Hollywood glamour, with an unlimited supply of glitz and dazzle to take you away to another era, time after time. Based on the RKO motion picture starring the imitable Fred & Ginger, Top Hat is a decadent trip down memory lane to brimming with beautiful costumes and dazzling dance routines, set to some of Irving Berlin's most beloved songs including 'Putting on the Ritz', 'Let's Face The Music And Dance' and many more. Don't miss this new production from director and choreographer  Kathleen Marshall as it taps onto a stage near you from autumn 2025!

What Is The Story Of Top Hat?

Top Hat follows the talented and irrepressible Broadway sensation Jerry Travers, as he dances his way across Europe in pursuit of the beautiful society model Dale Tremont. A case of mistaken identity ensues, however, which seems to thwart Jerry's attempts to woo Dale at every almost angle!

This hilarious romantic comedy follows our hero and his muse from London to Venice, the production's brilliant set and costume design do the iconic Art Deco architecture and fashion of the 1930s much justice.

THE BEST MUSICAL IN LONDON

Top Hat is a fantastic musical.Fred and Ginger came to life again. The Art Deco sets were beautiful; the costumes, sumptuous; the dancing was divine; the music was wonderful as were the songs. The two lead singer/dancers and the back supporting cast were brilliant. Its well worth seeing and I would highly recommend the musical. ... Read more

Lovely way to spend an evening in London

The show was way better than I had imagined it would be; all the dancing was superb, and the costumes were so elegant and in tune with the 1930's. It was from my mother's era, and yes, I would have loved to have been able to take her. Seats and view were great too. I smiled the whole way through, even with the somewhat corny jokes, which probably were typical of the time. ... Read more

Wonderful evening

You are lucky indeed if you haven't seen this yet... You have a wonderful evening to look forward to! The show is pure magic. Apart from the superb dancing and singing the dialogue is witty and well timed comedy abounds. I couldn't have enjoyed it more! I might even go and see it again... ... Read more
