Well did you evah! What a swell party this is .....
Cole Porter's
High Society
20 - 23rd April 2016
Cole Porter’s classic feel-good musical, High Society comes to Wantage in a glittering new production from AmEgos - and what a swell party it was!
High Society is based on The Philadelphia Story and the 1956 film musical. Featuring hit songs including ‘True Love’, ‘You’re Sensational’ , ‘Well did you Evah?’ and the unforgettable ‘Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?’
Long Island socialite Tracy Lord is planning her lavish summer wedding when her ex-husband appears to try and win her back. His unwelcome arrival threatens to disrupt proceedings. When tabloid reporter Mike Connor arrives to cover the nuptials, he too takes a shine to the bride-to-be. But which of these three suitors will she choose?
