I GET A KICK OUT OF COLE to Make UK Debut with Ann Hampton Callaway
The Tony-nominated performer will celebrate Cole Porter's songbook as part of the EFG London Jazz Festival.
Tony-nominated Broadway star Ann Hampton Callaway has announced her return to Crazy Coqs this November with the UK premiere of I Get A Kick Out Of Cole - a celebration of the music and words of Cole Porter. Running as part of the EFG London Jazz Festival, the show will play for four performances only on 17, 18, 19, and 22 November 2026.
Best known for her Tony-nominated performance in the hit Broadway musical Swing!, Callaway will perform a number of hits from the great Cole Porter. Among the highlights is I Gaze in Your Eyes, a song composed by Callaway posthumously with Cole Porter, with the approval of the Cole Porter Estate. Other hits include Just One of Those Things, From This Moment On, Night and Day, Every Time We Say Goodbye, and more.
Ann Hampton Callaway today said, “Cole Porter's impact on my life as a singer, songwriter and storyteller is powerful and personal. Being the only composer to have collaborated with him and digging deeper into his personal and artistic life makes this celebration uniquely meaningful. I can't wait to wrap London in the arms of his extraordinary songbook!”
