About the Show

Step into a world of glamour, romance, and dazzling tap dancing as Top Hat comes to Milton Keynes Theatre for one week only in September 2025.

Effervescent and elegant, this Olivier Award-winning stage musical is based on the legendary 1935 RKO film starring Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. With direction and choreography by Kathleen Marshall (Anything Goes), this brand-new production is filled with wit, charm, and irresistible showmanship.

Featuring Irving Berlin’s timeless score, the musical includes Hollywood classics such as:

• Cheek to Cheek

• Let’s Face the Music and Dance

• Top Hat, White Tie and Tails

• Puttin’ on the Ritz

The Story

Broadway star Jerry Travers (Phillip Attmore – Hello Dolly) arrives in London to open a new show. When his late-night tap dancing disturbs model Dale Tremont (Amara Okereke – My Fair Lady), sparks fly. Determined to win her heart, Jerry pursues her across Europe, but a series of mistaken identities and hilarious complications threaten their budding romance.

Lavish sets, stunning costumes, and breathtaking choreography bring this glittering love story to life on stage.
