The three principal cast members from The Lowestoft Players’ forthcoming production of Kipps – The New Half a Sixpence Musical, have taken a break from busy rehearsals to enjoy a sunny Sunday afternoon stroll in Southwold.
At the turn of the last century Arthur Kipps (Alex Bracey), an orphan and overworked draper’s assistant, unexpectedly inherits a fortune that propels him into high society. His childhood companion, Ann Pornick (Lauren Wilson), watches with dismay as Arthur is made over in a new image by the beautiful and classy Helen Walsingham (Emma-Jayne Herbert). Both women undoubtedly love Arthur – but which of them will he choose?
Packed full of toe-tapping tunes including Flash, Bang, Wallop!, Half a Sixpence and If The Rain’s Got to Fall, this cleverly reinvented version of the original musical is a must-see for all musical theatre lovers.
With a cast of almost 30, the talented and multi-award winning Lowestoft Players will perform this production next month at their theatre, the Players Theatre on Battery Green Road, Lowestoft.
Kipps will run for 10 performances from 7th to 15th June 2024, including two matinees and one early evening show.
