FLOWERS FOR MRS HARRIS - Professional Release Australia and New Zealand
Winner! Three 2016 UK Theatre Awards, including Best Musical Production
Flowers for Mrs Harris
Based on the novel by Paul Gallico
A musical by Richard Taylor and Rachel Wagstaff
Book by Rachel Wagstaff
Music and Lyrics by Richard Taylor
Full Length Musical, Drama, 1940s / WWII
Cast: 4M, 6F
Dare to Dream. Taken from the best-selling Paul Gallico novel (also known as 'Mrs 'Arris Goes to Paris') this is a heartfelt and sumptuous new musical about a cleaning lady in post-war London whose life is changed by the sight of Dior dress ultimately transporting her to the House of Dior in Paris in pursuit of a dress of her own. It's a tribute to beauty, friendship and good things happening to good people. There's a fantastic central role for a terrific actress but there's also an equally weighted ensemble of great parts supporting her - parts that actors would love to play.
Flowers for Mrs Harris provides wonderful opportunities to celebrate vintage Dior inspired fashion and a breath-taking floral finale.
Angela Lansbury starred in the TV/Movie in 1992 and Universal has a movie out now starring Lesley Manville and Isabell Huppert in collaboration with Dior.
The musical played in both Sheffield and Chichester, in the UK and received rave reviews!
REVIEWS:
Guardian noted it's "transformational power of art and self-belief, affirmation that loving relationships are the stuff of happiness". ****
Evening Standard refers to the show's "strength and conviction to become quite something, full of wistful dreaming and old-fashioned kindness". ****
WhatsOnStage declares the story is "so smooth it fills your throat with lumps". ****
