High Society in Concert

July 2022

Music & Lyrics: Cole Porter

Based on the play “The Philadelphia Story” & Turner Entertainment Co. motion picture High Society.

At their waterfront estate in Oyster Bay, the Lord family prepares for a lavish wedding weekend in our concert version of High Society. The reluctant bride-to-be, famed socialite Tracy Lord, bristles when her playful ex-husband Dexter arrives to stir up trouble. Juggling an uninspiring fiancé, a harried mother, a carousing uncle, a pesky ex-husband and a pair of snooping reporters, Tracy struggles to make sense of her romantic life.

The score is packed with songs you know and love including “Who Wants to be a Millionaire?”, “You’re Sensational” and “True Love”.

“A contender for the most beautiful summer opera venue in the country just got more beautiful!”
