Who’d want to be a millionaire?
The captivating Tracy Lord invites you to the most exclusive wedding of 1938. There’s 700 guests, oceans of champagne, and a couple of pesky undercover journalists threatening to transform the whole affair from shindig to scandal. Oh, and one thing remains uncertain – who exactly will be the groom?
Adored by a society that worships her looks, money and feminine grace, why does Tracy still feel unvalued? Perhaps she needs to learn that “the occasional tumble off the pedestal is good for a person.” Wayward family members, wise-cracking interlopers and an inconvenient ex-husband all converge to turn Tracy’s wedding preparations into a battle against temptation, dirty tricks, and basic sobriety. What a swell party this is!
High Society is the first production produced in-house by Hayes Theatre Co. The show will be directed by musical theatre superstar Helen Dallimore (Blood Brothers, Legally Blonde, Wicked – West End), with an exceptional cast led by Amy Lehpamer (The Rocky Horror Show, Once, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels), Bert Labonte (Rupert, Pippin, Next To Normal – MTC), Bobby Fox (Blood Brothers, Jersey Boys, Hot Shoe Shuffle), and Virginia Gay (TV’s Winners & Losers and All Saints, The Producers).
