Combine Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew with Porter's music and lyrics to get KISS ME,
KATE, an instant success with every cast and audience. This is a play-within-a-play where each
cast member's on-stage life is complicated by what is happening offstage. Musical numbers include
'Why Can't You Behave,' 'So In Love Am I,' 'Wunderbar,' 'Tom, Dick or Harry,' 'Were Thine That Special Face,'
'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 is fun, melodious and sophisticated. KISS ME, KATE
played for 1,070 performances on Broadway at the New Century Theatre and for 501 performances in London
at the Coliseum Theatre. The original cast included Alfred Drake, Patricia Morison, Lisa Kirk and Harold Lang.
It is currently being revived at the Martin Beck Theatre on Broadway. The original cast introduced in 1948 by
Columbia Records, had the distinction of being the very first original cast recording done for the new medium.
Starring CATHY FOY.
Music and Lyrics by Cole Porter; Book by Sam and Bella Spewack
