About Top Hat

It’s time to ‘put on your top hat and brush off your tails’

Seventy-seven years after Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers lit up Hollywood’s silver screen with one of the greatest dance musicals of all time, RKO Pictures’ Top Hat is coming to the West End.

Top Hat tells the story of an irrepressible Broadway sensation Jerry Travers who dances his way across Europe to win the heart of society model Dale Tremont.

Top Hat has delighted audiences across the country on its pre-London tour and with its sensational cast it’s easy to see why. Tom Chambers best known for his role in Holby City and his Strictly Come Dancing win will take on the role of Jerry Travers, triple Award nominee Summer Strallen known for her roles in Love Never Dies, The Sound of Music and The Drowsy Chaperone will play Dale Tremont in this incredible celebration of 1930s song and dance.

Packed full of Irving Berlin’s greatest hits, such as Let’s Face the Music and Dance and Top Hat, White Tie and Tails, stunning tap, romantic ballroom and a little bit of Busby Berkeley thrown in for good measure, Top Hat features magnificent sets, over 200 costumes and a love story that will set the pulses racing!

Please note, from 1st – 15th September 2012 and 6th October 2012 the role of Jerry Travers will be played by Alan Burkitt. From 13th – 25th August 2012 the role of Dale Tremont will be played by Alexandra Waite-Roberts
