JUST FABULOUS IN EVERY POSSIBLE WAY!

This wonderful show had me smiling from the second the overture started until.. well, actually every time I think about it I still smile! Excellent choreography with brilliant dancers - the tap sequences in particular were just superb. Its a pity the stage was a bit small for some of the large chorus numbers to show off to best advantage, but the whole show was just brilliant. Don't miss it - we're planning to go again!

AN UNMISSABLE EVENING

Being a massive fan of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers I’ll freely admit I was rather sceptical about whether I was going to enjoy seeing Top Hat on Stage, I could say even if it’ll never quite live up to my beloved Fred and Ginger I have become rather fond of it. Top Hat on Stage is a whirl of sophistication, fabulous dancing and a whole host of Irving Berlin songs. The choreography is sublime and while my favourite choreography from the movie did not make it into the stage version, what replaces it is a pleasure to watch. Parts of the show that stood out for me were Chambers own choreographed dance with the Hat Stand ‘Hattie’, ‘Wild about You’ sung by Strallen to Chambers the fabulous ‘Outside of That I Love You’ performed by Ball and Parry. The essence and magic of the 1935 film is perfectly captured by all of the ensemble who are one of the best I have ever seen along with the fabulous leads. Top Hat at the Aldwych should be on everyone's calender and truly deserves to run and run!

ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!

This show was absolutely fabulous in every way and a joy to watch. The elegant art deco sets, lighting, costumes and dancing was perfect. Also, lovely comedy moments. I enjoyed it sooo much!

FANTASTIC!

Wonderful dance routines, good singing and a chance for young people to hear what REAL music sounds like. I will be going again and again.

What we thought

highly-recommended Masterpiece INTERESTING

Chambers is Astaire to a T - albeit a few inches taller.

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