The full cast of a hit West End musical has been announced ahead of its Norwich run.
High Society, which has had a record-breaking run at London’s Barbican Theatre, has begun its six-month UK and Ireland tour, including a stint at the Norwich Theatre Royal in September.
It will feature a 28-strong cast that includes Helen George, Freddie Fox, Nigel Lindsay, Julian Ovenden, Malcom Sinclair, David Seadon-Young and Naomi Pacquette.
Joining them are Carly Mercedes Dyer as Liz Imbrie, whose performance in Anything Goes earned her a WhatsOnStage award and an Olivier Award nomination, and Josefina Gabrielle as Mother Lord.
Ms Gabrielle is known for leading roles in Oklahoma!, Carousel and Les Misérables.
Producer Sir Howard Panter said: "We are delighted that Carly Mercedes Dyer will continue with High Society for the UK tour, bringing her exceptional talent and charisma to audiences across the country.
"We are equally thrilled to welcome Josefina Gabrielle to the company whose extraordinary warmth, elegance and experience make her a wonderful addition to the cast.
"Together they will make this a truly outstanding company – I know audiences across the UK are going to love this glorious production."
Featuring Cole Porter’s much-loved songs, including Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, Just One Of Those Things and True Love, the show follows plans for the society wedding of the year.
But old and new flames collide and a sharp-eyed tabloid reporter stirs up trouble.
The creative team promises a mix of "champagne-sparkled evenings, razor-sharp comedy, and the timeless sophistication of Cole Porter" in this reimagined take on the beloved musical.
High Society is directed by Rachel Kavanaugh, with choreography by Anthony Van Laast and musical supervision by Stephen Ridley.
