Two of Hollywood's classic films 'The Philadelphia Story' starring Katherine Hepburn and Cary Grant and 'High Society' starring Bing Crosby, Grace Kelly and Frank Sinatra, were both based on the life of a real socialite Helen Hope Montgomery. This new production is more in tune with the 1956 version with Crosby and Sinatra and features some wonderful songs, 'What is this thing called love?', 'Who Want's To Be A Millionaire?', 'Just One Of Those Things' and the classic 'True Love'. With a great cast headed by still dashing Michael Praed, who is best remembered for his roles in 'Robin of Sherwood' and 'Dynasty' and still can pack a tune. Daniel Boys, Marilyn Cutts, Sophie Bould and Alex Young are equally sparkling support and with a truly handsome production design the show is a good nights old fashioned entertainment and a lovely change from the glut of brash and noisy modern shows which litter theatres today.. The show made an early stop in Dublin on it's UK tour and is currently winging it's way around the British Isles...
