Kiss Of The Spider Woman is a thrilling musical with a book by TONY Award winner Terrance McNally, and music and lyrics by TONY winners John Kander and Fred Ebb. Based on the novel by Manuel Puig, this exciting musical illustrates how companionship, however unlikely it may be, can help you weather even the most extreme circumstances. It is told through the story of two cellmates in a Latin American prison.

This concert is directed by 11th Hour co-founder Steve Pacek. Amanda Morton is the Musical Director. The cast includes: Robert Hager as Molina, Jake Blouch as Valentin, Alina John as Aurora, Jonathan Silver as Gabriel, Larry Lees as the Warden, Cara Noel Antosca as Marta, Nancy Boykin as Molina's Mother, and Geoff Bruen, Daniel Vito Siefring, Bren Thomas, and Christopher Haig as Prisoners.

The Next Step Concert Series is innovative, inspiring, and intimate - everything you love about 11th Hour. New and seldom seen musicals are stripped down to their very essence...good storytelling and incredible music. This season, in addition to sharing an imaginative new Broadway gem and a rarely seen Broadway classic, 11th Hour is bringing audiences inside the process of creating a new musical. 11th Hour is inviting audiences to be an integral part of the growth and development of two brand new musicals, Factory Girls and Big Red Sun.
