From the producers of the recently nominated tour of The King and I (UK Theatre Awards 2012) comes a dazzling new production of Cole Porter's timeless classic, High Society to the Lyceum Theatre from Tuesday 11 - Saturday 15 June.

Wealthy socialite Tracy Lord is in the midst of planning a lavish summer wedding when her ex-husband Dexter Haven turns up to disrupt the proceedings in an attempt to win her back. A further twist arrives in the form of charming reporter Mike Connor who falls instantly for Tracy, and she for him. As the day of the wedding draws closer, everyone is left guessing who the bride will choose.

Michael Praed (Robin of Sherwood, The Sound of Music) stars as Dexter Haven, alongside Marilyn Cutts (Fascinating Aida) as Margaret Lord, Teddy Kempner (Acorn Antiques The Musical) as Uncle Willie, Daniel Boys (Any Dream Will Do) as Mike Connor and Sophie Bould (The Sound of Music) as Tracy Lord.

Directed by Anna Linstrum, High Society fizzes with the host of beautiful Cole Porter ballads including True Love, You're Sensational and the unforgettable, Did You Evah!.
