Princess Theatre, Torquay
This new version of the classic musical Half A Sixpence, with book by Julian Fellowes, (Downton Abbey) and an infectious new score by George Stiles and Anthony Drewe (Mary Poppins), took the West End by storm in 2017.
It features many well-known songs, including Money to Burn, If The Rain’s Got To Fall, Half a Sixpence and Flash, Bang, Wallop! This production cleverly reinvents the original Half a Sixpence, whilst still keeping the integrity of the classic musical that we all love.
With an outstanding cast, an incredible live band and dazzling choreography, don’t miss out on your chance to see this toe-tapping musical that will leave you humming that ‘simple tune’ all the way home!

The Princess Theatre first opened its doors on Wednesday 7 June 1961. Top of the bill on the opening night were the late, great Tommy Cooper and the legendary Morecombe & Wise. In 1963 The Beatles appeared live on stage singing the then newly released single “She Loves You” causing some hysteria in the town!
The Princess Theatre is South Devon’s largest theatre with a seating capacity of 1,491. Big musical productions that have thrilled our audiences include Priscilla Queen of the Desert, Chicago, Starlight Express, Rocky Horror, Cats, and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Icons of the stage and screen Sir Roger Moore, Elaine Page, Joan Collins and the beloved Joan Rivers, have also graced our stage. Comedians Jimmy Carr, Alan Carr and Dawn French have performed here too and chart toppers Mumford & Sons, Jamie Cullum and Ronan Keating have included the theatre on their UK tours.
