  • The smash-hit musical Half A Sixpence is going out with a Flash, Bang, Wallop after extending for the final time until 2 September!
    Winner of 3 WhatsOnStage Awards 2017 including Best Actor in a Musical (Charlie Stemp), this award winning musical contains one of 'the top 10 ecstatic musical showstoppers of the last 70 years which spreads delirium from the stage into the auditorium' and 'has the key quality any musical needs: a moment of pure ecstasy' (Michael Billington, The Guardian).
    This is a completely fresh adaptation which reunites book-writer Julian Fellowes (Oscar-winning screenwriter and creator of Downton Abbey) with songwriting duo George Stiles and Anthony Drewe. The score is inspired by and features several of composer David Heneker’s exhilarating songs from the original production, including "Flash Bang Wallop", "Money To Burn" and "Half A Sixpence".
    You simply won’t want to miss ‘The kind of West End experience that comes along once in a lifetime’ (Huffington Post), so book your Half A Sixpence tickets today!

    EVENING STANDARD


    'Flash, bang, wallop, what a show! Welcome to the undoubted hit of the summer, perhaps even the year, courtesy of Chichester, easily the country's finest purveyor of musical theatre.'

    DAILY TELEGRAPH


    'Leaving the auditorium in raptures, bid hello to 22-year-old star-in-the-making Charlie Stemp. He's got a grin so broad and warm you feel you're basking by the seaside.'
    'A bouquet apiece for composer George Stiles and lyricist Anthony Drewe who have diligently buffed-up David Heneker's charming-catchy numbers and brilliantly supplemented them at every turn.'
    'Bravo! If the first incarnation of this show was all Steele, this one's pure gold.'

    THE i NEWSPAPER


    'Thanks to a mix of choreography, endlessly revolving props of merry-go-round proportions, and a cast who are on fire with Stemp ablaze at the helm, this is a genuine masterpiece. A triumph.'

    DAILY MAIL


    'Flash, bang, wallop what a musical!'

    THE TIMES


    'High-kicking, heel-clicking, cartwheel-turning - sheer exhilaration.'
    'Fellowes's freshly adapted book adds a sliver of edge, emphasising the upstairs/downstairs class conflict with an arched eyebrow and a slyly satirical wink. Sparkling new songs enhance skilful reworkings of David Heneker's original numbers. And Rachel Kavanaugh's production is right on the money, with dazzling choreography by Andrew Wright and a lead performance by the newcomer Charlie Stemp that radiates easy charm and gawky grace.'
