Windham High School Presents KISS ME, KATE

What do you get when you combine Shakespeare's "Taming of the Shrew" with Cole Porter's makes-you-wanna-get-up-and-dance music? You get Kiss Me, Kate the first musical to win a Tony Award! Kiss Me, Kate is the story of a troupe of traveling actors who are performing Shakespeare's "Taming of the Shrew" but things get complicated when the backstage drama of their personal lives creeps into the action.

As they try to stage the musical, 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 passionate young lovers, ingénue Lois Lane and her gambler boyfriend Bill, plus a few musically inclined gangsters' heavies, and the result is a sharp and witty night with some of Cole Porter's most immortal tunes. Musical numbers include Why Can't You Behave, So In Love Am I, Tom, Dick or Harry, Brush Up Your Shakespeare, I Hate Men, and Too Darn Hot. Kiss Me, Kate is pure entertainment at it's musical - and comical - best.
