Winner of 5 Tony Awards, 6 Drama Desk Awards and 4 Outer Critics Awards including Best Musical Revival.
The first Broadway revival in nearly 50 years of the musical comedy masterpiece by composer Cole Porter and book writers Sam and Bella Spewack not only enchanted critics and delighted audiences, but went on to triumph as one of the biggest prize winners of the 2000 season. Taking its inspiration from Shakespeare, Kiss Me, Kate recounts the backstage and on-stage antics of two feuding romances during an out-of-town tryout for a musical adaptation of The Taming Of the Shrew. Sparkling with 18 classic Cole Porter songs-including "Another Op'nin', Another Show,""Wunderbar", "So In Love", "Always True To You in My Fashion", "Too Darn Hot", and "Brush Up Your Shakespeare"-Kiss Me, Kate epitomizes the Broadway musical comedy at its irresistible best. Directed by Michael Blakemore, this 2000 Tony winner for "Best Revival" stars Brent Barrett, Rachel York, Nancy Anderson and Michael Berresse as the squabbling couples whose off-stage disputes entangle them with a pair of song-and-dance gangsters and a pompous U.S. Army general.
