Kiss Me Kate
Shakespeare has never been more cleverly adapted
Book by Samuel and Bella Spewack, music and lyrics by Cole Porter
September 16 – November 2
Peru, Indiana’s Cole Porter is no stranger to any stage in America. But of all of his hits, Kiss Me Kate is considered universally as his masterpiece. One of the most sophisticated and finely crafted musicals of all time, it certainly can follow in the footsteps of The Fantasticks, The Music Man, and Carousel. “Night and Day,” “I Get A Kick Out of You,” “You're the Top,” “Begin the Beguine,” “My Heart Belongs to Daddy,” is a long list, but some of the cleverest, funniest, and most romantic songs ever written came from the pen of Cole Porter.
In 1948 Kiss Me Kate stormed the Tony Awards receiving the statue for Best Musical, Best Author of a Musical, Best Composer and Lyricist, Best Costume Design, and Best Producer of a Musical. The show went on to run for four years exceeding 1,000 performances.
