Half a Sixpence

Musical comedy with music and lyrics by David Heneker based on HG Wells semi-autobiographical novel 'Kipps: The Story of a Simple Soul'.

"The 2016/17 touring production is a completely fresh adaptation which reunites book-writer Julian Fellowes (Oscar-winning screenwriter and creator of Downton Abbey) with George Stiles and Anthony Drewe, the musical team that co-creator Cameron Mackintosh first put together to create the hit stage adaptation of Mary Poppins with Disney.

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'."
