Aldwych Theatre, 49 Aldwych, Strand, WC2B 4DF

How Much: £65.00 (Highest Price) , £20.00 (Lowest Price)
The stage show inspired by the 1935 film starring Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers follows dancer Jerry Travers as he begins work for producer Horace Hardwick in London.

Enthusiastically practising his routine in his hotel room, Jerry disturbs the sleeping Dale Tremont whose loud complaints only charm him. But there's soon a case of mistaken identity that throws a spanner in the works turning this romance into a silly, carefree,  comedy dance musical.
