The Watermill Theatre today announced the full ensemble cast of actormusicians for Paul Hart's production of Kiss Me, Kate.

It's another op'nin' of another version of Kiss Me, Kate, the iconic Cole Porter musical that adds a sassy, meta-theatrical, mid-century twist to Shakespeare's battle of the sexes The Taming of the Shrew. With an all-star cast, the cast recording of Roundabout's latest revival has little in the way of surprise or novelty, but plenty of talent along the way.

At the 73rd annual Tony Awards, the best and brightest of the Broadway season was on full display. The show featured performances from the season's shows, plus a slew of powerful wins and speeches. I spent the night watching the broadcast closely to put together a comprehensive recap and review - ahead, check out some of the most talked-about moments of the night!

Am Theater Luneburg erlebte der Cole Porter Klassiker KISS ME KATE nun als zweites Musical in dieser Spielzeit am vergangenen Samstag seine Premiere. Weitere Vorstellungen laufen noch vorerst noch bis April 2016. Die Kritiker zeigten sich auf ganzer Linie uberzeugt

Cole Porters Musical-Klassiker von 1948 strotzt nur so vor Evergreens: „Wunderbar!', „So In Love', „Viel zu heiß!' oder „Schlag nach bei Shakespeare' sind nur einige der fantastischen Songs, die Kiss Me, Kate unsterblich gemacht haben. Gleich nach der Urauffuhrung am Broadway gewann das Musical funf der begehrten Tony-Awards, unter anderem als bestes Musical des Jahres. Unter der Regie und der musikalischen Leitung der niederbayerischen Musical-Geheimwaffen Stefan Tilch und Basil H. E. Coleman verspricht KISS ME, KATE ein weiteres Highlight im Reigen der Landestheater-Musical-Produktionen zu werden. Die Premiere fand am vergangenen Freitag in Landshut statt, weitere Veranstaltungen finden sowohl hier aus als auch in Passau und Staubingen noch bis Februrar 2016 statt.

Cole Porters Musical KISS ME KATE gewann 1949, im Jahr nach der Urauffuhrung, allein funf Tony Awards. Mitreißender Swing, unvergessene Evergreens, quirlige Tanzszenen und spritzige Texte garantieren nach uber eintausend Broadway-Auffuhrungen bis heute den Erfolg. Zumal Porter im Ehepaar Spewack kongeniale Partner hatte, deren Textbuch mit einer großen Portion Ironie einen selbstkritischen Blick auf allerlei absurde Theaterklischees wirft. In dem Maße, wie sich Buhnenfiktion und reales Geschehen annahern, gewinnt das Stuck an Situationskomik und ist am Ende viel mehr als eine Liebesgeschichte. Das Staatstheater Kassel bring diesen Musicalklassiker in dieser Spielzeit im Opernhaus auf die Buhne. Die Premiere fand am vergangenen Samstag statt und wurde mit großem Beifall gefeiert. Und auch Kritiker zeigten sich angetan.
