Best Bits

A fresh adaptation of an all-time classic, Half a Sixpence heads for the West End following rave reviews and a record-breaking run in Chichester. Based on the semi-autobiographical novel 'Kipps' by H.G. Wells, this hit musical tells the story of the charming Arthur Kipps (played by the talented Charlie Stemp); an orphan and unhappy draper's apprentice who is thrown in to a different world when he unexpectedly inherits a fortune...

  • A charming tale that follows Kipps as he learns about making the right choices in life
  • Be enchanted as his journey in to this unfamiliar world unfolds and a battle of identity ensues
  • How will Kipps cope in high society?
  • Both Ann Pornick and Helen Walshingham love him but who will he listen to?
  • A production which reunites Julian Fellowes (Oscar-winning screenwriter and creator of Downton Abbey) with George Stiles and Anthony Drewe
  • Score is inspired by and features several of the exhilarating songs from the original production
  • Includes hits: 'Flash Bang Wallop', 'Money to Burn' and 'Half a Sixpence'.
