High Society - Southend Tickets

Direct from its sell-out season in London’s West End, now coming to Southend! 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). 

What is High Society About?

The flowers have arrived, the champagne’s on ice and the guests, press and paparazzi are assembling. All they need now is for the beautiful bride to choose her groom! As plans for the society wedding of the year descend into chaos, old and new flames vie for attention while a sharp-eyed tabloid reporter hunts for a scandal at a waterfront estate.

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. 

High Society - it’s worth the applause!
