Theatre-mad Bobby Child is torn between his show-business dreams and his rich, demanding New York fiancée and rich, demanding New York mother who want him to run the family bank. On his mother’s insistence, he reluctantly heads west for the bygone mining town of Deadrock, Nevada, to foreclose on

a mortgage.

​

There he finds the mortgage in question is on a dilapidated Victorian theatre and the owner’s daughter Polly is the girl of his dreams. Desperate to prove his good faith and win her love, Bobby lights on the idea of putting on a show - complete with glamorous dancers from New York’s Follies - to save the theatre and renew the town.

​

This hilarious, riotously entertaining musical is packed with glorious Gershwin melodies (including Someone to Watch Over Me, Embraceable You, I Got Rhythm and They Can’t Take That Away from Me), with stunning tap dance routines guaranteed to set the spirits soaring.

​

There’s more... The Brasserie at the Chichester Festival Theatre is a lovely venue serving superb food. For an extra £25 you can book a two-course

pre-theatre dinner with tea or coffee to follow. (We will circulate their seasonal menu nearer the time). Or if you prefer, you can take your own picnic or make use of the theatre café and bar - plenty of outdoor seating, or inside seated areas if weather is not so good! We will aim to get to Chichester at around 5.30pm.
