Music and Lyrics by Irving Berlin
Based on RKO’s Motion Picture
Adapted for the stage by Matthew White & Howard Jacques
Based on the classic 1935 RKO movie starring Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers and following it’s sell out run at Chichester Festival Theatre and a national tour, Top Hat is coming to the big screen at Gala Durham.
This sparkling romantic cocktail laced with witty comedy, stunning choreography and tap-dancing brilliance is brought to life on stage with lavish sets and gorgeous costumes.
Irving Berlin’s irresistible score includes some of Hollywood’s greatest songs, including the immortal Cheek to Cheek, Let’s Face the Music and Dance, Top Hat White Tie and Tails, and Puttin’ on the Ritz.
When Broadway star Jerry Travers arrives in London to open a new show, he crosses paths with model Dale Tremont whose beauty sleep is rudely interrupted by Jerry tap dancing in the hotel suite above hers. Instantly smitten, Jerry vows to abandon his bachelor life to win her – but the path of true love never does run smooth.
Put on your top hat, brush off your tails and let this joyous romantic musical comedy sweep you off your feet!
