Clear your diary, because the Barbican summer season returns with the most swell party of the year: Cole Porter’s High Society!

Helen George (Call the Midwife, The King and I) leads the cast as the glamorous Tracy Lord, joined by stage and screen favourites Felicity Kendal (Rosemary and Thyme), Freddie Fox (Slow Horses), and Julian Ovenden (South Pacific). Carly Mercedes Dyer (Anything Goes, A Chorus Line) and Nigel Lindsay (Kiss Me, Kate) return to the Barbican, joined by 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.

Join the 28-strong cast as plans for the society wedding of the year descend into chaos, with old flames and new sparks vying for attention while a sharp-eyed tabloid reporter hunts for scandal at the waterfront estate.

Brought to life by a multi-award-winning creative team, including Rachel Kavanaugh and choreographer Anthony Van Laast, High Society declares the summer season officially open!
