★★★★ “Jenna Russell shines” TimeOut

Experience the wonderful story of Flowers For Mrs Harris live on stage at Riverside Studios this Autumn.

Based on the novel by Paul Gallico and adapted for the stage by Richard Taylor (The Go-Between) and Rachel Wagstaff (The Mirror Crack’d), Flowers for Mrs Harris is a celebration of kindness, friendship and carrying on in the face of grief. 

Olivier-Award winning stage legend Jenna Russell stars as ‘Ada Harris’ in this acclaimed musical which is directed by Bronagh Lagan.

This is the first London production of the critically acclaimed musical since its premiere in Sheffield in 2016, which was followed by a highly successful run at the Chichester Festival Theatre. 

Flowers For Mrs Harris will run from 30 September 2023 until 26 November 2023 at Riverside Studios London.

For Ada Harris, day-to-day life is spent cleaning houses. But one day when she is working for a wealthy client in Belgravia, she happens upon a Dior dress that takes her breath away.

 In that magical moment, Ada has an epiphany and sets off on a journey that will change her life… From the cobbled streets of post-war London to the magical avenues of Paris and beyond, Ada transforms the lives of everyone she meets along the way, but can she let go of her past and finally let her own life blossom?
