The Showmance Must Go On!
Cole Porter's beloved cIassic receives "Another Op'nin, Another Show", in this masterful 1999 London revival of the Tony Award winning musical Kiss Me, Kate! When the egotisticaI Fred Graham mounts a musical adaptation of The Taming of The Shrew (with himseIf as director, producer, and star) he’s got the perfect Ieading lady in mind: his movie star ex-wife! The fireworks both onstage and off between the two seem destined to explode the entire production...or wilI a romantic fIame that’s Too Darn Hot be rekindled?
With backstage shenanigans, gangsters brushing up their Shakespeare, and a coIlection of Porter tunes that any Tom, Dick, or Harry wiII love, Kiss Me, Kate remains an all-time favorite of musicaI fans from Padua to Peoria. |
