About High Society

This new revival of High Society, directed by Rachel Kavanaugh, brings Cole Porter’s classic musical comedy back to life with wit, romance and a full-size orchestra performing hits like “True Love,” “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” and “Well, Did You Evah!”

Inspired by The Philadelphia Story, the musical follows glamorous socialite Tracy Lord as her wedding plans unravel thanks to an ex-husband, a persistent reporter and a cascade of champagne-fuelled complications. It’s elegant, funny and filled with timeless Porter charm.
