Music and Lyrics by Cole Porter Book by Sam and Bella Spewack 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. Sophisticated, romantic and delightfully hilarious, Kiss Me, Kate boasts a sparkling Cole Porter score and a brilliant book from Sam and Bella Spewack. With romance, comedy, sophistication, and behind-the-scenes high jinks, Kiss Me, Kate combines the irreverent humor and the music of Cole Porter. Musical numbers include “So In Love,” “Wunderbar,” “Tom, Dick or Harry,” “Too Darn Hot,” “Brush Up Your Shakespeare,” “I Hate Men,” “Always True to You (In My Fashion)” and “Another Op’nin, Another Show.” Kiss Me, Kate was originally produced in 1948 and is considered one of Broadway’s great treasures. It was revived on Broadway in 1999, taking advantage of new technology in music and reflecting evolving social values. All seventeen of the original songs remain in the revised score, with the addition of “From This Moment On,” from Porter’s Out of This World and the 1953 film adaptation. “Cole Porter’s sybarite’s delight of a musical… broad, brazen, often shameless and finally irresistible… Kiss Me, Kate asserts that there is still a place for sophisticated, grown-up fun in the theater.”
