Kipps has some of the most memorable songs in it such as –
Half a sixpence
Look a live
Money to burn
A proper gentleman
If the rains got to fall
We'll Build a Palace / I Only Want a Little House
Pick out a simple tune

Kipps is the Story of A Simple Soul, this musical tells the tale of the changing fortunes of Arthur Kipps, an orphan and draper's assistant at Shalford’s Bazaar in Folkestone, Kent at the turn of the twentieth century. Kipps is an easy-going working-class lad, who is happiest with his banjo. However, when he unexpectedly inherits a fortune from an estranged grandfather, he is suddenly propelled into high society. He catches the eye of Helen Walsingham and her money-grabbing family, who are desperate to restore their family fortune. His childhood sweetheart, Ann Pornick, is forced to watch helplessly as Helen attempts to transform Kipps into perfect husband material. Both young women undoubtedly love Kipps in their own ways but by the time he makes up his mind which one he wants, it may be too late. When he loses his money (thanks to the fraudulent behaviour of Helen’s brother, James (played by yours truly), Kipps is reminded of his roots and where his heart truly lies.
