Kiss Me, Kate

“Kiss me, Kate, we shall be married o’Sunday.”

It’s “another op'nin' of another show” with Kiss Me, Kate, American musical theatre’s greatest tribute to the Bard. As they try to stage a musical version of Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew, sparks fly on and off stage between Fred Graham, the show's director and star, and Lilli Vanessi, his leading lady—and ex-wife. Add to the mix a pair of passionate young lovers and a few musically inclined gangsters’ heavies, all under the direction of STC Associate Artistic Director Alan Paul. The result is a sharp and witty night with Cole Porter’s biggest hit and the winner of the first ever Tony Award® for Best Musical.
