Top Hat

Aparently Tom Chambers and Summer Strallen are in rehearsal for Top Hat on stage (I remember it as an old Fred Astaire/Ginegr Rogers musical). However, don't know when or where this will be. Could be a great show for dancing though

and some lovely songs

Sounds like that could be fun! I loved Tom Chambers when he was on Strictly!

Have you seen him tap dance?

We saw Summer in Love Never Dies just yesterday, she was great, her facial expressions were excellent.

Glad you liked it

I think this show will be in the Lowry - is that in Manchester?

This looks good WM

No dates for most of the tour yet http://www.musicaltheatrenews.com/top-hat-tour.html

but will try to get to the Lowry for it. Thanks for posting

Thanks for the link - the irony is that the tour is not coming anywhere near me

I would LOVE to see this show, but all venues are just too far away

What about Birmingham? I love the Hippodrome, much prefer it to the Lowry

It's still a 3-3 and half hour journey each way - not nice after evening performance, and hotel just adds to expense. Will have to see if there are any trips arranged from round here.

what about this with Connie Fisher April 2012 at the Lowry? http://www.thelowry.com/event/wonderful-town

Looks interesting

Was really hoping to see this at the Lowry so could have seen yourdd's friend but it is dd's birthday round about then and her call on an outing/birthday treat and she doesn't want it to be this

Did anyone actually go and see Top Hat on stage? I am trying to organise a birthday party in the next couple of months...perhaps I should wait until the reviews come out?
I am particularly interested if anyone saw it along with Singin in the Rain, and could tell me which they thought would be better for a 10 year old's birthday? I have found a few pictures online and some information but the web doesn't have too many people who have seen it!

I've seeen it twice, and throughly enjoyed it. Slightly biaised as friend's daughter is in it. Lots of dancing especially tap. There is a facebook page and the link below has more clips etc on it. Haven't seen singing in the rain so can't compare.
