SALOS Presents Kipps - The New Half a Sixpence Musical

Kipps – The New Half a Sixpence Musical is a delightful adaptation of H.G. Wells’ novel “Kipps: The Story of a Simple Soul”. Written by the acclaimed Julian Fellowes, known for his work writing stories and shows such as “Mary Poppins”, “School of Rock”, “Gosford Park”, and “Downton Abbey”, this heart-warming musical follows the story of Arthur Kipps, a humble orphan who unexpectedly inherits a fortune. Thrust into high society, Kipps must navigate the complexities of newfound wealth while staying true to his roots and the love of his life. Whether you’re a die-hard fan of the original “Half a Sixpence” film starring Tommy Steele or new to the story, Kipps promises to captivate audiences of all ages. With its toe-tapping tunes, irresistible charm, and timeless themes of love and identity, this musical is a joyous celebration of the human spirit. While many may recognise the iconic number “Flash Bang Wallop” from the original film, Kipps offers a fresh take on classic songs alongside new, enchanting melodies that will have you humming long after the curtains close.
