Friday & Saturday: Kipps - Half a Sixpence

The award-winning Bridport Musical Theatre Company return to the stage this summer with their latest production of Kipps, the new Half a Sixpence musical.

Flash, Bang, Wallop! The show which reunites the creative team who originally came together to create with Cameron Mackintosh's stage production of Mary Poppins returned to co-create a masterful adaptation of H.G. Wells' semi-autobiographical novel Kipps. This new work has reinvented the musical Half a Sixpence for the modern age with a brilliantly infectious new score.

The show is being performed at The Electric Palace in Bridport on Friday and Saturday evening.
