The Town Hall, Times Square's landmark concert venue, presents KT Sullivan and Mark Nadler in "A Swell Party: RSVP Cole Porter" Monday, June 9, 2008 at 8:00PM.  This special musical evening event, commemorating Cole Porter's birthday, also features Loren Schoenberg.  

A Swell Party: RSVP Cole Porter, and its stars KT Sullivan and Mark Nadler, celebrate the timeless words and music of the supreme sophisticate of the 20th century, whose witty, wicked and romantic songs enthrall audiences as much today as they did when first written.

"We're very pleased to celebrate what would have been Cole Porter's 117th birthday," said Lawrence C. Zucker, The Town Hall Executive & Artistic Director. "Audiences will love the combination of the very talented KT Sullivan and Mark Nadler, performing all the best-known Cole Porter classic songs, creating another memorable event for The Town Hall."
