⭐ RUMOUR – HALF A SIXPENCE – FILMED PERFORMANCE ANNOUNCED FOR SKY ARTS ⭐
The filmed performance of the smash-hit West End musical Half A Sixpence is reportedly set to air on Sky Arts this Christmas, it is rumoured.
According to TV listings, the filmed performance, titled Kipps (the alternate name for the revival) is stated to finally debut on 29th December 2021 – 6:30pm.
There has been no official confirmation yet so we can only assume this is long-rumoured filmed performance of the revival.
The new stage version of Half a Sixpence, the musical adaptation of H.G. Wells’s semi- autobiographical novel ‘Kipps: The Story of a Simple Soul’, is a completely fresh adaptation which reunites book-writer Julian Fellowes with 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’. The production transfered to London’s West End following a run at the Chichester Festival Theatre.
Half a Sixpence stars Olivier Award nominee Charlie Stemp as ‘Arthur Kipps’, Devon-Elise Johnson as ‘Ann Pornick’, Ian Bartholomew as ‘Chitterlow’, Emma Williams as ‘Helen Walsingham’, and more.
This would be fantastic news, if true! ! !
