The Greatest Dance Musical Of All Time
Cygnet Players present Top Hat 31st January - 3rd February
Cygnet Players are proud to present once of the greatest dance musicals of all time, Top Hat! The production runs from Wednesday, 31 January to Saturday, 3 February at the London Oratory School Theatre, Seagrave Road, Fulham, SW6 1RX. Performances are nightly at 7.30pm with a 2.00pm Saturday matinee.
In Top Hat, Jerry Travers, the famous American tap dancer, arrives in London to appear in his first West End show. Travers meets the irresistible Dale Tremont, the girl of his dreams, and follows her across Europe in an attempt to win her heart.
Top Hat brings the glamour of Hollywood's golden age and the glorious, tap-dancing magic of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers to the stage in one of the greatest dance musicals of all time. Packed full of Irving Berlin's greatest hits including Cheek to Cheek, Top Hat, White Tie & Tails, Let's Face the Music & Dance and Puttin' on the Ritz, Top Hat is based on the RKO Motion Picture of the same name, which was released in 1935, and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture.
Cygnet Players’ production is directed by Stuart Burrows, with Sam Fisher as musical director and Kim Findlay as choreographer.
“The film of Top Hat was RKO’s biggest smash of the 30s at the box office and the first time that Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers had a movie written specifically for them”, says Stuart. “It began a series of movie musicals featuring this classic pairing which would be enjoyed by filmgoers for generations to come.”
“I’ve been blessed to be able to work alongside Kim Findlay and Sam Fisher, our incredible and truly dedicated choreographer and musical director, to create the production. My sincere thanks must go to them and our talented cast and production team in the wings for working so hard on this show.”
