From the golden age of Broadway musicals comes the classic love story of a couple who just can’t stand each other.

It gets “Too Darn Hot” when divorced celebrities Lilli and Fred star in a new musical adaptation of Shakespeare’s Taming of the Shrew. But for this couple, it’s not just “Another Op’nin, Another Show.” This backstage drama has it all: hot jazz, high-kick dancing, slapstick comedy, and gangsters singing, "Brush Up Your Shakespeare." This season, discover why the world is "So In Love" with Kiss Me, Kate!

Music and Lyrics by Cole Porter

Book by Sam and Bella Spewack
