Kiss Me, Kate -
great performances

The original Broadway production of Cole Porter's 1948 classic Kiss Me, Kate ran for over 1,000 performances and went on to become one of the all-time classics of Broadway's "Golden Age" of musicals. A love letter to the theater blending Shakespeare with backstage romance, the show was the crowning achievement of Porter's celebrated career and featured a score brimming with enduring hits including "Another Op'nin, Another Show," "So in Love," "Too Darn Hot," "From This Moment On" and the comic masterpiece "Brush Up Your Shakespeare." The 2024 revival of Kiss Me, Kate at London's Barbican Theatre stars Tony-winner Stephanie J. Block (The Cher Show) and Irish star Adrian Dunbar (Line of Duty) as Porter's famously feuding couple. The Barbican revival was directed by Tony-winning director Bartlett Sher (Lincoln Center Theater's South Pacific, The King and I, My Fair Lady) .
