High Society

High Society

Set in 1948, famed socialite Tracy Samantha Lord is about to marry her second husband, George Kittredge. Her harried mother, Mrs Margaret Lord, and her precocious younger sister Dinah, are at the family mansion in Philadelphia supervising last minute preparations, whilst her father Seth Lord is absent ostensibly on business.

Sydney Kidd, editor of ‘Spy’ Magazine is determined to get the inside story on the lavish wedding and blackmails Tracy’s ex-husband Dexter to arrange for two journalists to pose as guests and obtain an exclusive story.

High Society is packed with Cole Porter standards, including “Ridin’ High,” “She’s Got That Thing,” “True Love,” “Just One Of Those Things,” “Let’s Misbehave,” “It’s All Right With Me,” and “Well, Did You Evah?”

Music and lyrics by Cole Porter;
Book by Arthur Kopit;
Based on the play ‘The Philadelphia Story’ by Philip Barry and on the Turner Entertainment Co. motion picture ‘High Society.’

This amateur production is presented by arrangement with MUSICSCOPE Ltd. on behalf of TAMS-WITMARK MUSIC LIBRARY, INC. NEW YORK
