Kiss Me Kate

November 2002

Music and Lyrics by Cole Porter
Book by Sam and Bella Spewack

"Kiss Me, Kate" is a play within a play about a group of actors performing Shakespeare's "the Taming of the Shrew" with the riotous romance between an ex-husband and wife cast in the lead parts.

Guaranteed to leave you humming on of the many great songs such as "Another Op'nin', Another Show, I Hate Men!, Why Can't You Behave, Too Darn Hot, Brush Up Your Shakespeare and many more. All in one show? "Wunderbar"!

Cole Porter and William Shakespeare makes for great entertainment.
