Why see Top Hat?

Winner of three Olivier Awards including Best New Musical!

Irrepressible Broadway sensation Jerry Travers dances his way across Europe to win the heart of society model Dale Tremont.

Packed full of Irving Berlin’s greatest hits, such as Let’s Face the Music and Dance, Cheek to Cheek and Top Hat, White Tie and Tails, stunning tap, romantic ballroom and a little bit of Busby Berkeley thrown in for good measure,

Highly-recommended, masterpiece, interesting

The show is an elegantly comedic farce, part-play, part dance spectacle...

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
