Half a Sixpence

“Winston’s stomping choreography is right on the money and performed with energetic ease by a stellar ensemble that fill every inch of the large performance space; even using the aisles as a seafront to promenade.”

WHATSONSTAGE ★★★★

“Like the recent concert productions of Bonnie and Clyde and Chess at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, this new version is cleverly directed and brilliantly choreographed by Nick Winston, who recently said: ‘In 1840, Shelley wrote “The rich get richer and the poor get poorer”. Unfortunately, this aphorism still resonates today. Half a Sixpence is about class differences and how Kipps negotiates the moral and emotional difficulties that come with a sudden change of wealth and social status.’”

MUSICAL THEATRE REVIEW ★★★★★

“Kilworth's production of this joyous show was directed and choreographed by Nick Winston. Nick is a household name at the Leicestershire theatre having worked on quite a lot of their shows over recent years. There is no doubt that his style in this production soars. He manages to do the things that a revival should do for shows like this. Excitement oozes from the wings of this expansive space from start to finish.”

THEATRE & TONIC ★★★★★

“Nick Winston, who also directed and choreographed Kilworth's recent Carousel (which was outstanding) returns for Sixpence and he serves up a dazzling treat that will leave you feeling overjoyed and wanting to reach for a banjo!”

WEST END BEST FRIEND ★★★★★

“And it’s not just the leads who impress here – from the second the ensemble gather to perform the first group number, it’s clear what a talented bunch they are, performing Winston’s choreography dynamically and with an infectious energy, really selling the show’s up-tempo numbers”
