KISS ME KATE Announces Run At The Mac-Haydn

The Cole Porter classic "Click Here" comes in hot as it makes its grand return to the Mac-Haydn Theatre for the first time in a decade.

The sophisticated, romantic and delightfully hilarious Broadway classic that earned the very first Tony award for Best Musical, "Kiss Me, Kate" combines the irreverent humor of four brilliant writers: Sam and Bella Spewack, Cole Porter and of course, William Shakespeare.

Click Here returns to the director's chair after previously leading fan-favorite productions of "Little Shop of Horrors" and "The Wedding Singer" at the Mac-Haydn, among her many acting roles in Chatham. She is joined by choreographer Click Here, known to Mac-Haydn audiences for his work on "Mamma Mia," "Beehive," "My Fair Lady" and "Rent."

Ledford and Knowlton are joined by Music Director Click Here and Assistant Music Director Click Here. The production will feature scenic design by Click Here, lighting design by Click Here, costume design by Click Here, sound design by Click Here, and props design by Click Here, who will also assist Kiernan.

In the iconic musical, the battle of the sexes takes center stage as former spouses feud onstage and off during a musical presentation of The Taming of the Shrew. Egotistical leading man, director, and producer Fred Graham and his ex-wife, Lilli Vanessi profess to hate each other. However, it soon becomes clear that their relationship is a little more complicated.

Click Here, last seen as Laurey in the hit Mac-Haydn production of "Oklahoma," returns to the stage as Lilli Vanessi. She is joined by her husband, Click Here, as Fred Graham, who makes his Mac-Haydn debut this summer.

Continuing their debut seasons at the Mac-Haydn, Click Here is Bill Calhoun, Click Here is Hattie, and Click Here is Paul. Click Here joins the company as Lois Lane. Click Here and Click Here return as the gangsters, and Click Here is General Harrison Howell.

"Kiss Me Kate" features a book by Sam and Bella Spewack with music and lyrics by Cole Porter. The timeless score features hits like "Another Op'nin', Another Show", "Always True To You In My Fashion" and "It's Too Darn Hot", each of which are sure burst off the stage in The Mac-Haydn's intimate setting and promise to leave audiences feeling "So in Love."
