Ada Harris spends her days dusting, darning, polishing and scrubbing. But her first glimpse

of a ravishing Christian Dior dress sets her off on a journey that will change her life forever…

From the cobbled streets of post-war London to the shimmering avenues of Paris, Ada

transforms the lives of everyone she meets along the way; but can she let go of the past and

finally allow her own life to blossom?

This new musical, directed by Daniel Evans, captures the glowing humanity of the novella

by Paul Gallico on which it is based. The production began in Sheffield, where it won three

UK Theatre Awards including Best Musical.

Richard Taylor is a composer and lyricist for stage, opera and television, whose work
