Half a Sixpence now open to rave reviews at the Noel Coward Theatre!
This new stage version of Half a Sixpence, the musical adaptation of H.G. Wells's semi- autobiographical novel 'Kipps: The Story of a Simple Soul', is a completely fresh adaptation which reunites book-writer Julian Fellowes with George Stiles and Anthony Drewe. The score is inspired by and features several of composer David Heneker's exhilarating songs from the original production, including 'Flash Bang Wallop', 'Money To Burn' and 'Half A Sixpence'. The production transfers to London's West End following a run at the Chichester Festival Theatre.
Arthur Kipps, an orphan and over-worked draper's assistant at the turn of the last century, unexpectedly inherits a fortune that propels him into high society. His childhood companion, Ann Pornick, watches with dismay as Arthur is made over in a new image by the beautiful and classy Helen Walsingham. Both young women undoubtedly love Arthur - but which of them should he listen to? With the help of his friends, Arthur learns that if you want to have the chance of living the right life, you need to make the right choices.

Ich ging zu Half a Sixpence und wusste nicht viel, außer dass Tommy Steele in der Originalproduktion von 1963 mitgewirkt hatte (es war eine der letzten britischen Produktionen, die vor der Dominanz von Andrew Lloyd Webber in den 1970er und 1980er Jahren an den Broadway gingen) und mein Freund mir das Titellied vorgesungen hatte. Als Geschichten ist es eine Geschichte vom Tellerwäscher zum Reichtum über den Wert von Geld, Klasse und Liebe.
