Frequently Asked Questions

When is High Society on in Birmingham in August 2026?

High Society runs at The Alexandra Theatre in Birmingham from Tuesday 18 August to Saturday 22 August 2026, with performances scheduled across evenings and selected matinees during that week.

What is the story of High Society?

High Society follows wealthy socialite Tracy Lord on the eve of her high-profile wedding at a glamorous waterfront estate, when her jazz-musician ex-husband Dexter and an undercover tabloid reporter, Mike, both arrive and complicate her plans. Over one chaotic and romantic weekend, Tracy is forced to confront her past, her family’s secrets and her true feelings as she chooses between security, passion or independence.

Is the Birmingham production part of a UK tour?

Yes, the Birmingham run is one stop on a major 2026 UK and Ireland tour of Cole Porter’s High Society visiting multiple cities. The Alexandra dates come after earlier tour engagements, so the production will be well-settled and polished by the time it reaches Birmingham.

Which theatre is hosting High Society in Birmingham?

The musical plays at The Alexandra Theatre on Suffolk Queensway in central Birmingham, a long-established venue known for hosting major touring West End musicals, comedies and dramas. Its central location means it is easy to reach by train, tram, bus or city-centre parking.

What are the typical performance times?

During the Birmingham week, evening shows are typically at 7:30pm from Tuesday to Saturday, with additional matinee performances on selected midweek and Saturday afternoons. Exact times can vary slightly by date, so it is best to double-check the schedule for the specific day you plan to attend.

How much do tickets usually cost?

Standard tickets for High Society at The Alexandra generally start from around £20 for the cheapest seats, with higher prices for the best stalls and circle locations. Premium seats and weekend performances can cost significantly more, especially closer to the stage and in the centre blocks.

How can I get cheap tickets for High Society in Birmingham?

To find cheaper tickets, look at off-peak performances such as Tuesday or Wednesday evenings or midweek matinees, which often have lower starting prices than Friday and Saturday nights. Booking early allows you to grab lower-priced seats before they sell out, and being flexible about where you sit, such as choosing upper-circle or restricted-view seats, can save a lot while still letting you enjoy the show.

Are there discounts or special offers available?

Touring musicals at large regional theatres sometimes offer discounts such as early-booking promotions, group rates, or concessions for students, under-26s, seniors or local membership schemes. Signing up for theatre or tour mailing lists and checking for midweek offers, last-minute flash sales or multi-buy deals on multiple shows can be a good way to secure a discount.

Is the show suitable for children and families?

High Society is generally suitable for families with older children and teenagers, with its romantic storyline, witty dialogue and classic Cole Porter songs appealing to a broad age range. Parents should be aware that the show includes themes of drinking, romantic entanglements and some mild adult humour, so very young children may not follow or enjoy it fully.

What famous songs are in High Society?

The score features many classic Cole Porter numbers, including songs such as True Love, You’re Sensational, Well Did You Evah? and Who Wants To Be a Millionaire?, which fans of the original film will recognise. The stage version blends these well-known hits with additional Porter material to create a rich Golden Age musical theatre sound.

Has High Society won any awards?

High Society is adapted from the acclaimed stage play The Philadelphia Story and the much-loved 1956 film musical, which helped cement Cole Porter’s reputation as a master songwriter. While individual revivals receive their own local nominations and praise, the musical’s lasting legacy comes from its association with award-winning performers and creators and its continued popularity in major revivals and tours.

What is the best way to travel to The Alexandra Theatre?

The Alexandra Theatre is close to Birmingham New Street station, making train travel one of the easiest options for out-of-town visitors, and it is also well served by local buses and city-centre trams. If you are driving, allowing extra time for Birmingham traffic, pre-booking nearby parking where possible and checking any evening or event parking tariffs can help keep both stress and costs down.
