What's New Pussycat

By Joe DiPietro

Birmingham Repertory Theatre, in association with Flody Suarez, Kilimanjaro Theatricals and Tom Jones, presents

Director Luke Sheppard
Choreographer Arlene Philips DBE

Suave ladies' man Tom Jones arrives in London with big dreams and a broken heart. Hoping to see his name in lights he discovers a world of mods, miniskirts and music as love takes over London in the Swinging Sixties. Adventures and romances lead Tom to great success – but will he ever be reunited with his one true love?

Featuring the iconic music of Sir Tom Jones and inspired by the hilarious classic novel The History of Tom Jones, this romantic new musical invites you to relive London's swinging sixties as the story that inspired an Oscar-winning film and smash-hit TV series is brought to spectacular life on stage.

This brand new musical includes all of Sir Tom's greatest hits including Green, Green Grass of Home, It's Not Unusual, Leave Your Hat On, Delilah, Mama Told Me Not To Come, Sex Bomb and, of course, What's New Pussycat?

Written by Tony Award winner Joe DiPietro (Memphis The Musical) who transposes Henry Fielding's novel to the decade of music, fashion and fun, What's New Pussycat? is directed by Luke Sheppard, whose & Juliet has taken the West End by storm, and choreographed by the legendary Arlene Philips DBE.

Don't miss the musical event of the year!
