Flowers for Mrs Harris
There is more to life.
Olivier Award-winning legend Jenna Russell stars in the London premiere of the critically acclaimed musical, Flowers for Mrs Harris. 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?
Winner of the 2023 WhatsOnStage Award for Best Off-West End Production and for Best Supporting Performance in a Musical (Annie Wensak) at the Offies.
