The spectacular American production of PUTTIN' ON THE RITZ first toured the UK in 2014 and broke box office records. This year, a much longer tour is kicking off on Wednesday 27 May at the New Wimbledon Theatre and includes performances in the very glamorous Monte Carlo as part of The Summer Sporting Festival. Strictly Come Dancing stars Kristina Rihanoff and Robin Windsor lead a cast of West End singers and dancers at the King's Theatre Glasgow from Tuesday 9 until Saturday 13 June 2015.

PUTTIN' ON THE RITZ takes you on a musical journey with wonderful music from three legendary composers, Cole Porter, George Gershwin and Irving Berlin. Songs in the show will include Cheek to Cheek, Alexander's Rag Time Band, Birth of the Blues, Swanee, Night and Day, I Got Rhythm, Easter Parade, and Puttin' On The Ritz.

These classic songs from the Golden Age of Hollywood will be recreated live on stage with a star-studded cast of singers and dancers who are set to wow audiences with their slick harmonies, glamorous costumes and ballroom dancing skills.

Puttin' on the Ritz is produced by David King with music and lyrics by Irving Berlin, Cole Porter and George Gershwin.
