Fast lyrics. Clever wordplay. Perfectly mixed cocktails.
A Smattering of Pattering (with Cocktails)! is a lively cabaret celebrating the wit, speed, and sparkle of Gilbert & Sullivan’s greatest hits, with an emphasis on the pair’s delightfully dizzying patter songs you love (or love trying to keep up with).
Presented by The Savoy Company, this one-night-only performance pairs iconic music with a relaxed social atmosphere and includes three complimentary cocktails with every ticket for guests 21+.
Audiences can expect razor-sharp humor, virtuosic vocal fireworks, and a wink at Victorian absurdity – all served in an intimate setting. Whether you’re a lifelong Savoyard or are brand new to G&S, you won’t want to miss this devilishly fun production!
About The Savoy Company
Cast of The Gondoliers, 1906
Founded in 1901, The Savoy Company is America’s and the world’s oldest continuously performing theater company performing the works of Gilbert and Sullivan. Each mainstage show is fully staged and features a professionally designed set, beautiful hand-sewn costumes, and professional quality actors and singers backed by a professional orchestra. The Savoy Company’s unwavering commitment to preserving the authenticity and brilliance of these productions has cemented its reputation as the gold standard for Gilbert and Sullivan performances worldwide. The theatrical works of Gilbert and Sullivan remain extremely popular and are second only to the works of Shakespeare in the number of performances presented globally each year.
The Savoy Company’s performances at Longwood Gardens represent a cherished Philadelphia early summer tradition of magical performance under the stars with the fragrant scent of blossoming flowers in the air. The tradition dates back to 1916 when Savoy was first invited to perform on stage in the garden theater by Pierre S. du Pont who then called Longwood Gardens his home.
