What's On Highlights

High Society
From:21-07-2026
To:25-07-2026
+ More Info +

Hailed as five-star ‘pure theatrical escapism’ by The Times and ‘studded with diamond performances from a top-notch cast” (Financial Times), High Society is the most swell party of the year, direct from the sell-out season in London’s West End!

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). 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.

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

Operation Mincemeat
From:15-09-2026
To:19-09-2026
+ More Info +

Operation Mincemeat is the 2024 Olivier Award-winning Best New Musical. It’s London's biggest hit with 113 Five-Star reviews, making it the best-reviewed show in West End history. Now also a Tony Award®-winning musical on Broadway!

The year is 1943 and right now we’re losing the war. Luckily, we’re about to gamble all our futures on a stolen corpse.

Singin’ in the Rain meets Strangers on a Train, Operation Mincemeat is the fast-paced, hilarious and unbelievable true story of the twisted secret mission that won us World War II.

Bursting at the seams with the kind of chaos you couldn’t invent, the question is: how did a dead body, a fake love letter, and - of all people - Ian Fleming come together to wrong-foot Hitler?

Reprising their acclaimed roles, West End alumnae Christian Andrews (Sherlock Holmes and the 12 Days of Christmas, ITV’s D-Day 80 at the Royal Albert Hall), Seán Carey (The Play That Goes Wrong, BBC One's VE Day 80, A Celebration to Remember), Charlotte Hanna-Williams (Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella; Bells are Ringing), and Holly Sumpton (Lovers Actually, BBC One's VE Day 80, A Celebration to Remember) are joined by new recruit Jamie-Rose Monk (Rome & Juliet, (the) Woman) to form the cast, while Katy Ellis (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Sappho: The Poetess), Georgina Hagen (Only Fools & Horses, Everybody’s Talking About Jamie), Jordan Pearson (Back to the Future: The Musical, One Man, Two Guvnors), and Morgan Phillips (Babies, The History Boys) complete the company.
