Breakfast at Tiffany's Theatre breaks

Breakfast at Tiffany’s, a play with music starring multi award winning Pixie Lott is coming to the Theatre Royal Haymarket in London’s West End in June 2016 following a national tour.

This classic tale written by Truman Capote in 1958 and made famous by the 1961 film version starring Audrey Hepburn and George Peppard, tells the story of café society girl Holly Golightly told through the eyes of a young writer whom Holly names `Fred’ after her older brother. The two are both tenants in a New York apartment building in 1943. Holly is a country girl, without a job but lives by socializing with wealthy men who take her out to restaurants and clubs, giving her money and buying her expensive presents. Her plan is to eventually marry one of them. Fred becomes fascinated by this vivacious character with her tales of her New York lifestyle and her strange views on various topics. As the play’s tag-line goes, Holly Golightly is the character, “every woman wants to be and every man wants to be with.”

Sparkling like the diamonds in Tiffany’s of New York’s window, A Breakfast at Tiffany’s theatre break will capture your heart. With memorable songs from the era and beautiful costumes, this adaptation by Richard Greenberg, directed by Nikolai Foster, designed by Matthew Wright and with music by Grant Olding will further enhance our love for the play’s stylish lead protagonist Holly Golightly. Pixie Lott seems to have found her era in the 1940s, impressing at the VE Day 70: A Party to Remember concert on Horse Guards Parade, London in May and currently on a national tour in a production of Puttin’on the Ritz, singing and dancing through the songs of George Gershwin, Irvin Berlin and Cole Porter.

A Breakfast at Tiffany’s theatre break will be the feel good trip of the summer in 2016. Combine tickets for the show with a stay in one of our range of specially selected London hotels for the best value way of enjoying some time out in the capital. Our hotel stays come with breakfast so you won’t need to grab a coffee and a cab to Tiffany’s (which in London can be found on Old Bond Street if you do want to). We can also save you money on rail travel to totally take the stress out of your trip.

A musical based on the novella and film was written in 1966 but, despite have Mary Tyler Moore and Richard Chamberlain in the lead roles, never actually opened. This musical was performed onstage in London in 2013 at the Lilian Baylis Studio Theatre as part of their `Lost Musicals’ series. 

The first play adaptation by Samuel Adamson appeared at the Theatre Royal Haymarket in 2009 when Anna Friel starred as Holly Golightly and Joseph Cross as Fred Parsons.

This adaptation of the novella by Richard Greenberg premiered at the Cort Theatre in New York in 2013 starring Emilia Clarke (Daenerys Targaryen in TVs Game of Thrones) as Holly and Cory Michael Smith (Edward Nygma in TVs Gotham) as Fred.

Pixie Lott appeared on the West End stage for the first time aged 13 in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang at the London Palladium.
