The unparalleled music of Cole Porter combines with the brilliance of Shakespeare in Kiss Me, Kate! Using the Bard's The Taming of the Shrew to create a play-within-a-play, Kiss Me, Kate combines hilarious backstage comedy with romance, sizzling dancing, and Cole Porter's finest score, including timeless songs like "Too Darn Hot," "Always True To You In My Fashion," "Another Op'nin', Another Show," "So In Love" and "Brush Up Your Shakespeare." This all-new version won five Tony Awards in 2000, including Best Revival of a Musical.
