Sophisticated, romantic, and delightfully hilarious, Kiss Me, Kate is a sparkling battle of the sexes that is a love letter to both Shakespeare and showbiz.
Cole Porter’s joyful and high-spirited musical comedy follows the ferocious backstage antics of a touring company performing The Taming of the Shrew, featuring a flamboyant feuding couple, gun-toting gangsters, and some of the best numbers ever written for the stage: “Another Op’nin’, Another Show,” “Too Darn Hot,” “Wunderbar,” “So in Love,” and “Brush Up Your Shakespeare.”
Broad, brazen, and shamelessly irresistible, Kiss Me, Kate was the first musical to win a Tony Award® for Best Musical. Discover its timeless charm in this song-and-dance extravaganza heralded as a defining musical of the 20th century.
Recommended for ages 10 and up.
Running Time: 2 hours and 25 minutes, including a 20 minute intermission.
KISS ME, KATE is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Tams-Witmark LLC. www.concordtheatricals.com
