BWW Review: Misbehave with MCT and Succumb to Coward's Fanciful FALLEN ANGELS
by Peggy Sue Dunigan - Apr 19, 2016

On stage in the beautiful Cabot Theatre,  Milwaukee Chamber Theatre's  (MCT) delightful production of Coward's 1925 play, written when he was in his 20's, use this love song's words combined with the lyrics to Cole Porter's 'Let's Misbehave' to underpin the deceptive meaning of the scintillating humor in Coward's words.
