Flash, Bang, Wallop! What a musical!Award-winning Carlton Operatic Society present Kipps - The New Half a Sixpence Musical this May – a fresh, fun and energetic romp set against the backdrop of a seaside town at the turn of the twentieth century.
In a heart-warming story of money, class and love, we meet Arthur Kipps, an orphan and over-worked draper’s assistant at Shalford’s Bazaar in Folkestone in the early 1900s. He is a charming but ordinary young man who, along with his fellow apprentices, dreams of a better and more fulfilling life. When he unexpectedly inherits a fortune that propels him into high society, it confuses everything he thought he knew. Will Kipps remember his roots and discover where his heart truly lies?
Along with delivering classic numbers from the original stage show, Kipps revisits H.G. Wells’ semi-autobiographical novel ‘Kipps: The Story of a Simple Soul’, reinventing the musical ‘Half A Sixpence’ for our times. This updated version reunites book writer Julian Fellowes with George Stiles and Anthony Drewe, the musical team that co-creator Cameron Mackintosh first put together to create the smash-hit stage adaptation of Mary Poppins with Disney.
The result is a joyful, exuberant, and fun-filled musical comedy full of much-loved numbers such as the riotous ‘Flash Bang Wallop’. A timeless, yet contemporary classic perfect for all the family and guaranteed to get your toes tapping and dancing all the way home.
