The Irving Berlin musical features recognisable songs such as ‘Puttin on the Ritz’, ‘Cheek to Cheek’ and ‘Top Hat, White Tie and Tails and was transformed into a stage musical in 2011, with Strictly Come Dancing winner Tom Chambers playing Jerry. 

Top Hat will be presented by Concord Theatricals Ltd, and has a production team comprised of choreographer Ashley Nottingham, set designer Jason Denvir, sound designer Chris Whybrow, musical arranger Francis Goodhands, musical director Chris Poon and lighting designer Nic Farman.
