Top Hat tap-danced its way into Glasgow this week, bringing with it plenty of sparkle and some superb performances. Based on the 1930s film, the plot depicts a classic case of mistaken identity: American dancer Jerry Travers arrives in London, falls for society girl Dale Tremont, and through a series of misunderstandings is mistakenly assumed to be the husband of someone else entirely. What follows is a whirl of crossed wires, romantic confusion, and farce as the characters chase love (and the truth) across London and Venice.
