High Society at The Lowry Theatre

Join us for opening night of High Society - the most swell party of the year, direct from the sell-out season in London’s West End! Join the 28-strong cast as plans for the society wedding of the year descend into chaos, with old and new flames vying for attention as a sharp-eyed tabloid reporter hunts for scandal at a waterfront estate. Brought to life by a multi award-winning creative team, including director Rachel Kavanaugh and choreographer Anthony Van Laast, High Society declares the summer season officially open!

Helen George* (Call the Midwife, The King and I) leads a 28-strong cast as glamorous socialite Tracy Lord, joined by stage and screen favourites Freddie Fox (Slow Horses), Nigel Lindsay (Kiss Me, Kate), Julian Ovenden (South Pacific), and Malcolm Sinclair (Pie in the Sky).

Performed alongside a full-size orchestra, this lavish new production features a score overflowing with the best of Cole Porter’s songbook, including Just One of Those Things, Let’s Misbehave, I Love Paris, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, Well, Did You Evah!, True Love, and many more.

Your host will meet you in the main bar area so you can purchase your pre theatre drinks or snacks.

Please note we are in the upper circle and there are a lot of steps to navigate.

Hailed as five-star “pure theatrical escapism” by the Times and “studded with diamond performances from a top-notch cast” (Financial Times).
