Top Hat is a dazzling musical that brings the glamour of Hollywood’s golden age to the stage. Originally a 1935 film starring Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, the stage adaptation captures the charm, elegance, and enduring allure of the era, offering audiences a vibrant celebration of romance, comedy, and the unparalleled artistry of dance.

Set in 1930s London and Venice, Top Hat follows Broadway sensation Jerry Travers, who dances his way across Europe to win the heart of society girl Dale Tremont. Amid mistaken identities and comedic misunderstandings, the story unfolds with wit and charm, leading to a heartwarming conclusion.

At the heart of Top Hat is Irving Berlin’s unforgettable music. The score includes timeless classics such as:

  • “Cheek to Cheek”
  • “Top Hat, White Tie and Tails”
  • “Let’s Face the Music and Dance”
  • “Puttin’ on the Ritz”

These songs evoke the elegance of the era while remaining universally relatable, enhancing the musical's appeal across generations.

The stage production of Top Hat dazzles with over 200 beautiful costumes, breathtaking dance routines, and a love story that sets the pulse racing. The choreography pays homage to the original film while introducing fresh elements that captivate contemporary audiences.

Critics have lauded Top Hat for its vibrant energy and faithful recreation of the 1930s glamour. A review from Luna’s Little Library describes the production as “packed full with wonderful performers; dancing, singing – all of it,” highlighting the exceptional talent and dedication of the cast and crew.
