★★★★★ Daily Mail

In Detail

Starring multi-award-winner Adrian Dunbar (‘Line of Duty’, ‘Ridley’) and Tony Award-winning Broadway royalty Stephanie J. Block (‘Into The Woods’, ‘The Cher Show’) in her West End debut, this dynamite duo head the summer’s hottest cast alongside Olivier nominee Charlie Stemp (‘Crazy For You’, ‘Mary Poppins’), Georgina Onuorah (‘The Wizard of Oz’, ‘Oklahoma’), Nigel Lindsay (‘Victoria’, ‘Shrek The Musical’), Hammed Animashaun (‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’, ‘Black Ops’) and Peter Davison (‘Dr Who’, ‘All Creatures Great and Small’).

With backstage shenanigans, Shakespearean sonnets and singing gangsters – not to mention a romance that’s just too darn hot – and a full-scale orchestra performing Cole Porter classics, this all-singing, all-dancing musical comedy is London’s must-see show of the summer.

A love letter to the theatre which links Shakespeare and showbiz, this was the crowning achievement of Cole Porter’s long and celebrated career. This new production staged at the Barbican in London is directed by Bartlett Sher, choreographed by Anthony Van Laast with costume design from Catherine Zuber. ‘Sexy & Sassy.

Great songs. Hot dancing. Smart gags.’ ‘The hit songs keep coming and the show brims with wit and flair’ - Mail on Sunday.
