Kipps: The New Half A Sixpence Musical

  • The Hexagon, Reading
  • £14 - £25
A feel good musical with songs such as Pick Out a Simple Tune, Flash Bang Wallop and of course Half a Sixpence.
Book Tickets
Flash, Bang, Wallop! What a musical! The award-winning company, The Sainsbury Singers, by arrangement with Cameron Mackintosh, presents ‘Kipps: The New Half a Sixpence Musical’ — a fresh, fun and energetic romp set against the backdrop of a turn-of-the-century seaside town.

In a timeless 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.

As well as delivering classic numbers from the original stage show, Kipps revisits H.G. Wells’ semi-autobiographical novel to refresh the story for a modern-day audience and highlight some of the important social changes going on at the time.

The result is an infectious, joyous journey, filled with musical favourites such as If the Rain’s Got To Fall and the riotous Flash, Bang, Wallop as well as new, boardwalk-tapping numbers. A timeless yet contemporary production perfect for all the family and guaranteed to leave you smiling all the way home.

Made in Dagenham
Made in Dagenham

Inspired by a true story and based on the hit movie, Made in Dagenham is the uplifting British musical comedy about friendship, love and the importance of fighting for what is right.

Essex 1968. Like millions of other working women, each morning Rita O’Grady is just trying to get her husband out of bed, get the kids off to school and get to work at the factory on time. But life is about to change forever when it’s announced that the girls in the stitching room of Ford’s Dagenham car plant will have their pay grade dropped to ‘unskilled’. Quickly drawing on a strength she never knew she had, Rita leads her friends in a battle against the might of Ford and the corruption of the Union supposed to protect them. As the girls’ inspiring journey gets bigger than anyone could have imagined, the pressure is too much for some, but can Rita keep up the fight and the happy home she’s worked so hard for?

Made in Dagenham contains strong language and adult themes.
